God has given us an incredible opportunity to proclaim and display the beauty of Jesus in Kapolei and beyond in the coming years by giving us a meeting space in the middle of Kapolei’s most crowded shopping center. Kapolei is the fastest growing area in our state, and we’re at the center of it. The space used to be an arcade surrounded by 72 other merchants. We’ve been temporarily meeting in the space on a month-by-month contract, but recently were offered a long term lease agreement that could make this our home for 4 years or more.
God’s already working powerfully in our church, and this building gives us much needed space. It’ll allow us to invite more people, create an inviting atmosphere, and have a safe place for our keiki program. It can also be used as a gathering space for artists through open mics, a place of blessing through food and clothing distribution, and a place where the gospel is proclaimed and lived. As more and more people come and “dock” in this space, more people will experience the refuge, redemption, and resurgence of Jesus and then be sent out to impact others.
This isn’t about a building. It’s about
the PEOPLE we can IMPACT through
a building, who will then impact the ISLANDS.
Incredibly, we’ve been able to sign a lease agreement that will make this our home for years to come. For the space we’re getting (almost 4,000sq.ft.), the almost unlimited parking, and the cold AC, this is an absolute miracle! But this will double our monthly operating budget starting in 2021. We’re in need of ongoing, monthly support to pay our rent.
We’ve done some minor renovations under our month to month lease, but since this is now our home, we want to do much more. We want to put up a sign, build a few keiki classrooms, create a tech room, update our sound and lighting system, redo the walls and floors, and build a second restroom. We’re in need of one time gifts to cover these projects.
One Time Gifts
Renovations- Signage, sound, lighting, stage
- 2 classrooms & Tech room
- Second Bathroom
- Flooring
Monthly Support
Rent and Utilities- Help support our monthly rent payment
- Help run our AC to keep our building cool
We’ll need lots of volunteer workers in the coming months to make this vision a reality, by God’s grace. We also hope to raise $170,000 for renovation, tech updates, furnishings, and support for our monthly rent. We’re praying for God to raise up families and individuals who will give $50,000 in one-time gifts and $5,000/month over and above their normal offerings for the next 2 years.
Would you pray about how God might be leading your family to participate in this “docks” initiative? Mahalo!
