Who We Are
THE VINE is the downtown campus (in Kaka‘ako) of First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu at Ko‘olau.
Sunday worship at THE VINE has a casual, “come-as-you-are” vibe. We sit around tables, not in rows because discussion in small groups after the Sunday sermon is part of the service.
THE VINE is housed in the Halekauwila Plaza building, which sits in the area where Christianity took root in Hawaii. These grounds empower and inspire us to continue declaring our faith in Jesus Christ, the only one who can truly transform us to be individuals committed to transforming our city.
A perfect church we are not. We make mistakes; we doubt; we ask questions––just like everybody else. We are imperfect people, but we do try our best to follow Jesus and live out our faith. And so to all the other imperfect people out there, whether or not you have faith in God, we say:
“Welcome to THE VINE!”
