Mission StatementThe main purpose and focus of the First United Methodist Church of Honolulu is to:
- proclaim the joy of salvation through Jesus Christ;
- invite and welcome all of God's children to worship God, our Father and Creator;
- allow the activity of the Holy Spirit to be felt within the life of our congregation;
- promote unity with our diverse cultures;
- care for, nurture, and encourage one another through prayer and fellowship;
- emphasize Christian education of our children and youth;
- continue to grow spiritually towards a more personal relationship with Christ through Bible study.
Therefore, with the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, we vow to:
- continue and expand our current ministries;
- witness to the unchurched and bring non-believers to know the peace of a Christ-centered life;
- use the gifts which God has given us to reach out and spread the gospel and the love of God into the world and throughout our local community.
