Kona United Methodist Church

About this church

Kona United Methodist Church in Kailua-Kona holds its main English-language worship on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. The service is hybrid, so people can attend in the sanctuary or watch on Facebook Live. Music changes through the month and draws on a church music ensemble, English, Tongan and Samoan choirs, and a praise worship team. On the first Sunday, the congregation holds a joint communion service in English, Samoan and Tongan. A separate Tongan-language service meets Sunday at 3:00 p.m., and on the first Sunday of the month that gathering is a prayer service.

The church also offers several weekday gatherings. A Tongan-language service meets Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., and a Samoan-language service meets Thursday at 6:00 p.m. with scripture, singing and preaching. On Saturday at 6:00 a.m., an English-language Service of Prayer includes hymns, responsive Bible reading, a message and personal prayer time. Attendees are asked to bring their own Bible, and the NRSV translation is named. Sunday school for children and youth runs alongside the 8:30 a.m. service. The website also lists children's, youth, adult, women's and men's ministries, along with outreach. The church meets at 74-4960 Palani Road, and times may change, so confirm on the website or by phone at (808) 329-5842 before visiting.
