Our Mission
The mission of Kailua Community Church is to be “a family for you” that reveals the love and truth of God, through how we live and speak.
As you become a part of our Christ-following family, we encourage you to become a mission partner and be a family for those in our community who do not yet know Jesus, so that we can fulfill our God-sized vision.

Our vision
The vision of Kailua Community Church is to be, and to build, a growing family of Christ-followers in Kailua who transform our community in Jesus' name, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
What We Believe
"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer
God the Father
There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Son
Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.
Scripture
The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.
Mankind
Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God: he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.
Salvation
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.
Christian Living
It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.
Healing
Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age.
The Church
The Church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, edification through the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
The Resurrection
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.
The Return of Christ
We believe in the Rapture of the Church, the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to meet His Bride, the Church, in the air and to remove her from the earth prior to the seven-year Tribulation period (Jn. 14:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:50-54; 1 Thess. 4:13-18).
We believe that subsequent to the Rapture of the Church there will be a literal seven-year Tribulation period on the earth, resulting in the salvation of the nation of Israel, and the defeat of the Antichrist and his False Prophet (Dan. 9:24-27; 12:1; Mt. 24:21-30; Rom. 11:25,26; Rev. 6-18).
We believe that the Second Coming of Christ will take place immediately following the Tribulation period. Satan will be bound and Jesus will reign on the earth for 1000 years, fulfilling the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants (Gen. 15:18-21; 2 Sam. 7:16; Isaiah 65:19-25; Micah 4:1-7; Zech. 8:3-8; 14:3,4,9; Mt. 19:28; 24:29-31; Rom. 11:26; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:2–6).
