About Keolahou Hawaiian Congregational Church
-
Keolahou Hawaiian Congregational Church is a small, caring and vital church located towards the North end of South MauiHawaiionKihei Road. Our church has a small membership (aprox. 30-50), but serves the needs of its immediate community and its community at large.
Services are conducted on Sundays in both English and Hawaiian. Praise and Worship is also conducted in both languages and our Na Keiki (children) are encouraged to participate in worship through the hula (dance) and mele(song) which is taught by their worship kumu (teacher) at the church. On any Sunday there are always visitors and returnees who have made Keolahou Church their church away from home. Come early at 9:30am to join in on our Praise and Worship time! Service begins at 10am.
This is a full service church. The sacraments are available and Holy Communion is conducted on the first Sunday of each month. The Christian Calendar Year is followed and much of our literature comes through our parent church organization TheUnitedChurchof Christ.
Every Friday Keolahou Church hosts and distributes groceries and toiletries to some 50 families and individuals (140-150 people) in need and living in the Kihei area. The “Food Pantry” has been an on-going program for well over 15yrs. In addition, the church provides a dinner on one Tuesday a month to the people in the temporary homeless shelter.
On Thursday evenings we host 808Uke Jam, a wonderful class of ukulele enthusiast of all different levels hosted and taught by Jared DelosSantos. It begins promptly at 7pm and ends at 9pm. This is open to those who love the ukulele and want to learn (or even if you just want to check it out). Ukulele’s are available to rent.
On Saturday we have Na Keiki Hula Halau and Ka Mala’ai O Na Keiki.
Hula lessons begin at 11am and 12:30pm, if you are a beginner, the later class is for you . In between, we have the children in our vegetable garden learning the joys of planting, reaping and eating the fruits of their labor.
