Let us tell the next generation of the glorious deeds of our God.
(Psalm 78:4b)
 
Just as preceding generations involved with the Hawaiʻi Conference of the United Church of Christ ensured that the church continues to serve the needs of Hawaiʻi, it is our turn to insure its future for the generations to follow.

Faith Forward is a $12 million capital campaign that will support these 4 ministry initiatives that were identified to help transform the Conference to better serve our congregations:

​INITIATIVE 1
Providing a Secure Retirement Through Generations of Service
