How We Care

Behind the scenes of the ministry and work of the Church are institutional concerns: money, property, and procedural matters. These have their own worth, however, because how we care for the resources that have been given to us says something about who we are and what we believe.

Money Matters

Presented here are a number of documents and resources for the financial side of running a church and a diocese.

Planned Giving

The Planned Giving office of the Diocese assists churches in building their financial resources and helps donors in their estate plans and in creating life-income gifts.

Stewardship

Stewardship as a form of discipleship gives us a new way to consider and respond to our calling.

Legal Documents

Contained here are the canons (church rules), other legal documents, and policies for the Diocese and links to ones for The Episcopal Church.

Safe Church

The Diocese of Hawai‘i has standards for conduct and certain training programs required of church leaders to help ensure that our churches and schools are safe for people of all ages from harassment and abuse.

Disaster Prep

In 2007, The Diocese of Hawai‘i commissioned preparation of a comprehensive resource for disaster preparedness and response, intended for use by parishes and other units of the diocese, as well as by families and individuals.
