Who we are

Who We Are

The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai‘i consists of 38 congregations on five islands in the middle of the Pacific living in completely multicultural surroundings. Some congregations began to serve a particular ethnic group, but have since evolved to include a mix of people of, perhaps, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Samoan, Hawaiian, Filipino, Mexican, and European descent. Approximately 80% of Hawai’i’s Episcopalians live in the metro area of Honolulu.
