THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WELCOMES YOU |
|
We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
As constituent members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world.
We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church.
Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.
We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

Located on the beautiful North Shore of Oahu, Camp Mokule'ia began providing children and youth with summer camp experiences in 1947. Camp Mokule'ia offers Residential Camp, Day Camp, and Family Camp programs.
While at camp, campers have the opportunity to build meaningful connections with peers, play games, sing songs, gain confidence from trying new things, and learn more about themselves and the world around them. Experiencing the beauty of God's creation and living in genuine Christian community provide meaningful opportunities for spiritual transformation with the support of our caring counselors and staff. Campers of all (or no) faith backgrounds are welcome.
Camp Mokule'ia is a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii.
There are residential, day camp and family camp programs available.
Upcoming day camp program

TEACH US TO PRAY
Teach us to pray, they asked,
as the first evening star winked into view,
and the Teacher began:
Creator and Sustainer,
we center ourselves in your love,
remembering your gift of life to us. We place
ourselves within your tender embrace. Make us reverent
before the Holiness that sustains all that is,
and calls us Beloved.
Open our hearts to the power of wisdom and compassion,
that the kingdom take root in each heart. We trust
your abundance is greater than our hunger;
we ask for today’s bread enough, and provision for
tomorrow. Nourish us
with your grace and forgiveness,
for we know our sins only too well.
Help us turn
away from sin
to a life of justice and pardon,
answering forgiveness’s gift with our own clemency,
that we may ourselves pour forth
that grace to those who have done us harm.
Show us the path
away from temptation, O Loving One, who
delivers us safely home,
whose reign and radiance and righteousness
are everlasting.

A Prayer:
Magnificent Holy Father.
I stand before you at this altar. So many have given you more.
I may not have much I can offer. Yet what I have is truly yours.
This is my offering, dear Lord.
This is my offering to You, God.
Your offering enables us to maintain worship, prayer and study during this time. Help us continue to provide a beautiful, flourishing, and safe "Sanctuary for the Spirit" at our historic and faithful church on Kaua'i.
Change to Automated Giving: Thank you to those of you who automate your giving and have a plan to support your church. Your consistent, planned generosity makes it possible for us to budget and dream responsibly. Want to change to automated giving? It makes life easy, especially if you travel.
Live off island? If you have a prayer intention or would like to pray for those on our prayer list, email our office. To be part of the church collective means we all share in the cost of being a church. We want our church to have inspiring worship; pastoral care for those in need; beautiful church grounds; programs to learn and grow; and tools to reach out to those who are seeking a closer relationship with God. See the different ways you can share your gifts, on our Giving page HERE.
