Our Guiding Principle:
Laulima ka po'e o ke Akua
(The people of God working together)

Our Vision:
The Native Hawaiian Ministry Committee envisions a continuing partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i and the Ministry of all the Baptized to:
Enlighten, Ho'omalamalama
Educate, Ho'ona'auao
Encourage, Ho'opaipai
Enable, Ho'oikaika
Empower, Ho'omana'o
Native Hawaiian Episcopalians are on a continuing journey, with the rest of the Diocese, to seek and nurture the vision, blessing, and reconciling fervent wish and prayer of the Holy Sovereigns in the life of the Episcopal Church in Hawai'i Nei.

2022 Lent Reflections

During Lent, some of our kanaka maoli clergy will be offering weekly video reflections on the gospel for Sunday. Join us in considering the gospel in a new way - open yourself to hear a word or theme differently, and learn something about our host culture here in these islands. A new Gospel reflection will be posted here every Thursday during Lent.
