State Council of

Hawaiian Congregational Churches

MISSION

To advocate, at all levels, on behalf of all Hawaiian churches holding membership in the Hawai‘i Conference United Church of Christ.

​

VISION
A community which celebrates its biblical roots while sustaining the richness of Hawaiian traditions and cultural values; which strives to create opportunities for spiritual growth, leadership, and commitment for a common vision; and which nurtures all people to become instruments for building a better world and community.

​

We embrace and cherish our Christian faith as we respect our cultural heritage and ultimately seek the peace that comes with living comfortably in both.

​

HISTORY

The State Council of Hawaiian Congregational Churches (SCHCC) traces it roots back to the 1948 ‘Aha Pae’āina of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association (the precursor to today’s Hawai’i Conference of the United Church of Christ). The State Council was set up to provide leadership for Hawaiian churches, promote their work, and to nurture fellowship.

 

The State Council of Hawaiian Congregational Churches was formally recognized at the 1952 ‘Aha Pae’āina. It continues today with approximately fifty member churches working together to keep alive the legacy and traditions of the native Hawaiian churches out of a sincere love for the Hawaiian churches and the Lord Jesus Christ.
