Our Community

History

With God's guidance and blessings, St. Luke's Episcopal Church began in 1909 by a group of faithful Christian Korean immigrants to Honolulu.  Today, we are a welcoming & inclusive Episcopal church community in the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii that welcomes people from all cultures, ages, and backgrounds.

Mission Statement

To Serve God and people with the love of Christ, lifting up our members and the community in prayer, worship, and action.

Hawaiian Values

We are grateful for our Hawaiian cultural heritage as the people of these beloved islands created by Ke Akua (God).  We honor the legacy of King Kamehameha IV & Queen Emma who brought the (now called) Episcopal Church from England to Hawaii in 1862.  We strive to practice the Hawaiian values of Aloha (genuine love), Pono (doing what is right and just), Mahalo (thankfulness), Lokahi (oneness, unity, "one team"), and Malama Honua (taking care of our island earth), with the help of Ke Akua and with our utmost collective & personal efforts.

On-going Projects


Lucy's Quilting Circle
Every Tuesday, we gather from about 9:00 a.m. to 2: 30 p.m. for fellowship, and to sew clothes and other items for young mothers, their new born babies, and for people in the margins in need of clothing.  We break at noon for Noon Day Prayer (from the Book of Common Prayer), and to share a simple meal together.   It is part of the ministry of our Women’s Guild led by our Junior Warden, Mrs. Pat Pyun.  Both men and women are welcome.

Serving the Houseless Community
We collect canned goods, non-perishable and hygienic items, gently used clothing year round for the houseless community.
On the last Thursday of each month, St. Luke’s members join St. Mary’s Episcopal Church at Moiliili to cook and serve the houseless community in the area from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  Volunteers are most welcome.

Special Projects


ECW & St. Luke’s Joint Christmas Baskets for People in Need
Before each Christmas, St. Luke’s Church community joins the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) Group to make Christmas baskets filled with useful items donated by parishioners from St. Luke’s & other local Episcopal churches, and from ECW members for people in need in the wider community.

Annual Mandoo Making Fundraiser
In early November each year, St. Luke’s Women’s Guild, under the leadership of Mrs. Pat Pyun and other parishioners, has our annual Mandoo (Korean dumplings) making to raise funds for ministry for our church and outreach service programs.  It is a wonderful, joyful community event.  Volunteers are most welcome.  Please contact Pat at pyunpt@gmail.com for further information.
