Kumulani Chapel

I don’t write reviews so this is a big deal. We visited KC last Sunday, 2÷21÷16. Our daughter and son-​in-​law recently moved to Maui and have been several times. From the moment we stepped onto the church grounds, we felt the presence of the Lord. This is a warm, friendly, and high energy church that preaches the gospel and, the worship is great too! We are so pleased to know that our kids are attending a vibrant Christian church. We look forward to attending again next time we visit, and can’t wait to tell our own Pastor in CA about the positive experience we had. Thank you KC for being where you are and doing what you are doing! God and Paradise — perfectly natural!

We stayed at the Kapalua Villa’s for Thanksgiving last year and found this church a couple months prior to our trip. It was my daughters first Hawaii trip (age 11) and it was Thanksgiving so it seemed like the perfect time and place for her and I to be baptized. I emailed a couple churches in the area actually, but Kumulani Chapel was the one who went out of their way to accommodate us and welcomed the idea of doing our ocean baptism for us while we were there visiting. The office coordinator who helped us was awesome and told us that they would meet us after the service and tell us which beach to meet at. The message at that morning’s service ended up to be totally geared towards baptism and it was awesome that they opened up the opportunity to EVERYONE at church that morning! After the service, they told us to meet at Nipili Bay which is just a short drive from the church. It ended up to be a HUGE crowd, with probably about 20 or so people getting baptized. There were about 40 – 50 other people from the church there celebrating the moment. We gathered at the beach and we prayed together and then they started the baptisms. The Senior Pastor (Rick) was the one who baptized my daughter and I and it is my favorite memory from the entire trip. Such a special moment that my daughter and I shared together and will always remember. About two weeks after we were home, the office coordinator emailed me with pictures that someone from the church had captured of us being baptized. How awesome is that??? Such a sweet gesture for her to go out of her way to email those pictures to us. I was so impressed with the church, the message, the Pastor and how welcoming everyone was to us. Not to mention the location… on an open air barn on the golfcourse, right next to the Ritz Carlton. The next time we are in Maui, we will definitely attend the Sunday service there again. Don’t hesitate to visit yourself!

Our second visit. The welcome is warm. Worship service in an open air structure feels very Hawaiian. The pastor delivers a good sermon and the worship band is excellent. High energy! We love it.

This was a beautiful place, outside where all the golfers could hear the LORD being praised. For residents and vacationers alike, the church body was inviting and vulnerable on their pursuit to honor God. It is a Bible-​believing, Spirit-​filled, praying with expectancy church!
