We welcome you! E komo mai!

Sundays at 7:00 am and 9:00 am in person. Watch at 9:00 am via livestream or later on YouTube. We are located at 54-3801 Akoni Pule Hwy in Kapa'au, Hawai'i.
Come experience our spiritual community!
For us, church is about gathering as people on our spiritual journeys to include, support, respect, and love one another as Christ teaches us. "Church" is a shared, heart-centered experience where we welcome all. Read more about our inclusive church here.  

​On Sunday mornings, we pray, read, sing, and reflect on scripture as we strive to embrace unity consciousness in a broken world. We share a holy meal and celebrate the presence of the Divine among and in us. 
Please visit our YouTube channel to watch replays of Sunday services, Christmas Eve and Christmas, Holy Week and Easter, memorial services, concerts, and other special events.

Why we are here - our mission

LOVE — At St. Augustine's, we come together to nurture and share God's love inside and outside the church walls. It's a simple yet profound mission.
INCLUSIVITY— Because we yearn for a more loving world, we are learning to follow Jesus' teachings, seeking to embody the radical inclusivity he showed us.
HOPE & FAITH — Actively acknowledging the good in people builds our hope. Recognizing that everyone carries the Divine within strengthens our faith. Our conversations and our working together helps each of us open more deeply to the light of Christ that resides in our own hearts. 
SPIRITUAL JOURNEY — As followers of the Way of Love, we make promises to God, ourselves, and humanity. The path is different for everyone, but we're on the journey together, practicing each day. These promises (our baptismal covenant) are beacons that guide us, calling us to love and serve all people, regardless of differences.

Events at St. Augustine's

In addition to Sunday services, St. Augustine's offers a variety of activities for all ages: youth programs, special events, study groups, and community gatherings that keep us in touch with our Kohala neighbors. Check out our event calendar and subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest in your inbox! Our weekly newsletter comes out on Fridays.

Serving as good stewards

Stewardship means taking care of that which is entrusted to us: our church family, our community, our beautiful church buildings, and the land we care for through the generosity and faithfulness of Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV, whose vision of love and unity lives on in the work of the churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Hawai‘i. 

Support our mission
Please consider helping us with OUR MISSION to partner with the people of North Kohala to be a community of people who love one another and all creation! 
Your gift helps our community!
Contributions to St. Augustine's help us continue our work to support the North Kohala community in these important ways:
  • St. Augustine's Food Preservation Workshops help boost food sustainability in North Kohala. We are building a program to teach a variety of canning techniques, allowing residents to preserve meats and fresh produce. If you garden, hunt, or fish, sign up to learn how to can foods safely using tested recipes!
  • Our Thrift Shop offers clothing and household goods that people need at very reasonable prices. This is a crucial service to our community, serving many who cannot travel out of town, those who need to provide for their families on a budget, and people looking for new treasures. Items sold at our shop are not taken to the transfer station, which is better for our planet!
  • The St. Augustine's College Support Fund provides crucial support for our youth members who are continuing their education at a college, university, or trade school. Funds help students with costs such as books, materials, tools, and supplies needed for learning. 
  • Outreach programs at St. Augustine's serve members of our community under the direction of our Outreach Team. St. Augustine's is one of only a few parishes in the diocese that have a deacon, and Deacon Lani's work with families through her role at Tutu & Me allows us to partner with many community programs.
  • Our livestreamed services offer the blessing of gathering in community to those who cannot attend in person. 
  • Tiny Church Concerts offer music performed by local and guest musicians. From gospel choir to folk music, we have hosted a wide variety of groups! Subscribe to our newsletter for our concert schedule or check our Facebook page for up-to-date listings. You can also head to our Events Calendar to see who's playing next. If you missed a concert, subscribe to our YouTube channel to view.
​Please consider making a contribution in any amount to help us continue these ministries. No gift is too small! Mahalo for your support!​
