How will YOU Step Up, Step Out?

Mahalo to those who have already committed to Step Up, Step Out!

This past Sunday, we were invited to share the ways we are willing to Step Up, Step Out through a Commitment Form.

If you have not yet completed one, you may do so online (click the button below) to formally join with others to support and further our ministry and mission as Central Union Church!

Sharing the ways we will commit to being involved helps in the planning of how we can best strengthen our witness on the island and beyond!

A significant note: At the 200th ‘Aha Pae‘āina of the Hawai‘i Conference United Church of Christ (HCUCC) in 2022, a proposed resolution of witness—authored by Rev. Brandon Duran and Rev. Mary Herbig and sponsored by Central Union Church—which entreated the HCUCC, its churches, and their members “to make their voices heard in the wider community” and that “the time has come for us all to actively promote peace and engage in efforts to end gun violence.” It implored churches “to pray for peace and for an end to these horrific acts of violence, and to let our prayers move us to meaningful action.”
