Word of Life Christian Center

In 2008, I prayed to God to plant me at a home church to have a growing and closer relationship with Jesus Christ and to be connected to the body of Christ. Following that prayer, three people invited me to Word of Life Christian Center!!! One invited me to teach a Human Beatbox Workshop at Word of Life Academy and two from the School of Media and the Performing Arts (SMPA) invited me to compete in the Word of Life Emerge Nationwide Talent Contest!
Since then I’ve been planted and learned about the vision of Word of Life:
— Advancing the Kingdom of God, in order to establish the revival capital of the Pacific.
— Equipping the Saints, in order to do the work of the ministry.
— Building Together the Body of Christ, in order to stand mature and complete in all the will of God.
And its mission of promoting people’s progress and joy in believing.
I thank God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit for their continual guidance with my walk with my brothers and sisters in the body of Christ! Thank you Jesus for an incredible spiritual family, pastoral team, leaders, staff, brothers and sisters in the body of Christ and more at Word of Life!!! Word of Life is a church I can call home!!!

This has been my church for about a year now. I grew up in a Catholic home & with all respect, I was never able to grasp the concept (wasn’t even aware that there was even a plan for me) until I came to WOL. I love how the staff, pastors, & leaders WANT you to strengthen your walk with Christ & that they’re there to help you every step of the way. My leaders & friends who I’ve met along the way have become family to me. Plus the praise & worship team… AWESOME!!!
Our church does amazing things for our community such as opening a food pantry for those in need by feeding thousands of families all over the island!
WOL is prospering in every way possible & has been for the past 30+ years! I’m glad to be a part of WOL & is so blessed to call this place home
–ALWAYS WALK IN LOVE!

My initial take on this church… It is a big church, so I understand how people can feel like just a number. But there are many members who are real, and not just «play» church. The message can challenge you, but challenge promotes personal growth and personal gain… not just a message to scratch your itch, or make you feel good about yourself where you are, but make you want to be where you should be… where God wants you to be.

Not for me,
I like the community feel,
Just felt awkward when the «asking» for donations gets way to extreme!
Wwjd?

NOTE: This review is based on this year’s Christmas play: «All Scrooged Up!»
This play was such a great play for both reaching out to the lost and a reminder to believers!
They were definitely prepared for the crowds with tons of parking. We ended up parking at Restaurant Row and the parking volunteers validated our parking upon entering the garage. There were shuttles available to take guests to the building but my boyfriend and I decided to get some exercise and walk.
Upon arriving, all the volunteers were so welcoming and friendly from right when we got there! They even gave us shell necklaces because it was our first time visiting here!
The play itself was soooo awesome!!! It was funny and entertaining. My boyfriend and I couldn’t stop laughing. We didn’t know what to expect but we were completely blown away by the whole production.
Seriously, if you’re thinking about going, just do it!!! You won’t regret it!
The only thing is, since its first come, first serve, you need to get in line at least an hour and a half before the show starts. But it’s so worth the wait!

It was another spectacular performance from a bunch of talented folks. The message of true meaning of Christmas was displayed in an innovated way.
The costumes were very detailed and appropriate for the various scenes. The best part was the music and choreography was on point.
My favorite part is always the funny parts which there are endless laughs with the bruddahs!!! Also the localized twist makes it so fun…
Idefinitely will continue to invite friends to enjoy this special holiday treat that’s great for all ages!!!

Modern and dynamic christian church. It’s like a concert at every service !
No fluff here. Laying down the truth. And that’s a good thing.

Sad to think how tainted this church’s image is by the actions of other church’s killings and cult worship

I’ve been a member of this church for the entire time of my and my husband’s military duty while in Hawaii. I’ve grown so much spiritually while attending this church, and so has my husband and children. The ministries of the youth and teens are simply amazing! The church life groups are amazing, and the pastors are all Holy Spirit led. The senior pastor is by far the most humble pastor I’ve ever met, and he has a beautiful sense of humor. If you’re looking for a church to grow spiritually in your walk with God, this is truly a church that you can call home.

I wish to grow more with this Church and God.
We are all BLESSED!

I had an expensive pair of sunglasses stolen at this church as a first time visitor. Not blaming the church, but the person behind me. Still kind of ruined the experience and I won’t be going back. Yes I checked the lost and found.

I was raised a catholic, but so many of my friends are Christian, now religion to me is different in ways, apparently my church is boring compared to Christian church so I decided to give it a try.
While my friend works the camera on Wednesday nights, he invited me to come. I can honestly say that I enjoyed myself. The music was good, the atmosphere was good. People friendly. I couldn’t complain. For me it was a change of scene.
Nothing else more to say, but I’ll probably come back.

Word of Life is not my home church, but I do attend whenever there are conferences/​special speakers. Great church with awesome worship and great preaching. But sometimes the services are long! I guess I like churches that are at least an hour long, not 2 hours long. But I do like coming here.

I attended this church for about six months or so. It was far too big in my opinion. I never met any of the full time staff. Since the church is so big they have to have additional staff members that aren’t on the payroll. The church has set up life groups to try to keep members connected to the church. Clever idea, however members never get to know the Senior Pastors nor their staff. I never even met my Life Group leader’s leader.
If you’re looking for a church that you can personally connect to… I’d advise to look elsewhere.

Went to Word of Life tonight for the 3^rd or 4^th time tonight — always have been for their Easter or Christmas productions — although I thought the previous year’s production was far more enjoyable to watch, Pastor Art Sepulveda once again was awesome and so charismatic.
All Scrouged Up! opened tonight and runs thru Sunday December 23^rd. Definitely worth seeing!

I started going to Word of Life on Easter Sunday over on the leeward side. I went cause my niece invited me to watch her perform, plus I didn’t show up for her Christmas Show, so I thought I odd it to her to support her.
So not knowing that I had to sit through service before she came out to perform at the end of service, I thought of leaving and coming back at the end to catch her doing her dance routine. Something had told me that I needed to listen to Pastor Kuna, cause has something to tell me, so I did stay.
To make a long story short, I fell in Love with what was going around me. It was like a family oriented style of church. .A lot of praising and worshiping. Met very nice people there, and welling to help if you need it.
If you looking to hook up with a church try Word of Life, you well like it… if not no worries. In fact look me up, send me a message and I can meet up with you and show you around church. Take Care and God Bless!

I love this place I feel so great when I leave this place! Pastor Art and Kuna Sepulveda are so awesome!

Awesome church! Great Praise & Worship and a powerful word by great preachers and Senior Pastor; Pastor Art Sepulveda! They also have many ministries that you can get involved with too!
If you’re looking for a home church, stop on by Word of Life Christian Center every Sunday for their 7am, 9am, 11am, and 6pm services. Also their Wednesday night 7pm and Saturday night 6pm services!

simply the most lovely people you will ever meet and the finest church in the world. Love Love Love

WOL is performing a play called «All Scrooged Up» that runs from 12÷22−12÷26 and we saw it last night.
There’s ample free parking either at the lot across the street (on Queen & South) or the garage just about 1 block or so away.
The greeters were really nice, and gave us a shell lei for being newcomers. The holiday spirit was in full force!
The air conditioned building is nice and the sanctuary is kept in great shape as no food or drinks are allowed in this main area.
The pastor was interesting, funny and got his point across tonight. The musical talent is amazing here. My only concern was the speakers were up so loud, they need to bring it down a whole notch, it’s not a concert.
My review is about having no expectations of this place and just got blown away from the production this church put on.
The play consisted of very talented dancers, a flawless message and role play on stage between the Angels and Ebenezer Scrooge. The music, the authentic background changes, costumes, fog lights, and the sheer talent of acting like the 1800’s with a contemporary flare deserved a standing ovation.
Our experience has been rather uplifting. We loved how they incorporated local kine stuff to bring roaring laughter and cheers throughout the night.
I say Amen to that and to all a happy ending.
