elevate church HI — Local services in Honolulu

Where to start? Elevate is a community based church planted in the heart of Moiliili. Although they are new arrivals to the neighborhood, Pastor Zach and Dennisa have led Elevate for close to 7 years as a mobile church.

What will you find at Elevate? You’ll find community. Elevate is not a place where you show up at 10 and be free by 11. They are a people about building relationships. Our (yours and mines) growth doesn’t come just from the messages but through doing life with each other. Of course you can choose to head out after service…they’ll love you all the same, but the heart of Elevate is connecting with people.

Elevate is a giving church. Sowing into the community is one component of their mission. They truly have a heart for people. I really believe their outreach team sees people through the eyes of Jesus.

Is Elevate awesome? Of course they are! There’s a lot of awesome churches out there. Will you have an encounter with Jesus here? No doubt in my mind. But trust me, Jesus is at a lot of other churches too. Is Elevate the best church on Oahu? They sure are! But there are many churches that can claim that title as well. What makes Elevate different? They’re a church with a HUGE heart for God and people. They are way more substance than style. They will move you with the Word of the living God and not flashy lights with a 10 piece band. Elevate is authentic.

On another note, I’ll add my testimony here. I’ve been friends with the pastors for close to 10 years. We’ve had our ups and downs much like any relationship. What I can say is that today I’m a much better and bigger person and I credit that to what they have invested in me. They don’t teach grace, they example it. I could go on and on but I don’t want to sound like a commercial. But I will leave you with this…choosing to do life with Elevate is one of the top 5 life decisions I...

As someone who was not raised with church upbringings, and unfamiliar with being a Christian, I can tell you that I'm usually very uncomfortable when I attend church and could never bring myself to attend faithfully. But Pastor Dennissa and Pastor Zach really bring a different and very comfortable vibe in their church. They make you feel welcome, respected, and they don't put you on the spot and announce your attendance when you first start attending like some other churches do. For me, this is a very important thing and helps the process to transition feeling comfortable at your own pace. But at the same time, they make you feel like family. The church is a smaller, more intimate church, that definitely does not have you feeling like you're just another member attending the church, but more like a family member, being welcomed into their home, and it's awesome!! You feel like their messages are spoken directly to you, and for you too. Just be careful, because they will definitely get you all emotional and make you cry lol, but in a good way! After leaving their services, you feel revived, recharged, renewed, and ready to face the everyday battles you have been facing, but this time, you don't feel so alone, facing them. Elevate is also a family friendly church, and has definitely brought my 11 year old daughter and I closer to each other, and to lord together, and I'm grateful for that and them. I highly recommend this church, and hope that if you read this, you will consider checking the church out, and maybe l'll...

I've gone all my life never feeling like I fit in or belong at church until I walked through the doors here. I like that it's small and intimate. Everyone gets to know each other real quick! That's probably my favorite thing about Elevate, are the people. Pastor Dennisa and Pastor Zach are so genuine in their faith and want to ensure that everyone at Elevate feels seen, heard and welcome. Welcome to show up as they are and welcome to freely and comfortably explore their faith. Everyone is on their own journey and you are not expected to come in as someone you are not, but as the person you are. Flaws and all. I am so grateful for this church, for the people of the church and for the opportunity to grow my faith alongside those who are there to support me every step of the way. Elevate...
