Hope Chapel

Visited Hope Chapel while we were vacationing in Maui. We were staying in Wailea and it was a short ten-​fifteen minute drive up the road. It was nice to attend a Friday night service and even nicer to see so many youth there on a Friday night!
We approached the information desk and a friendly college aged girl gave us a map, an information brochure, and a welcome gift. They offer coffee in the courtyard and sell dinners prior to service. There is children’s church avaliable. They have their own parking lot, so no need to drive around looking for a spot.
We were greeted by Pastor Ben who was walking around saying hello to people prior to the start of praise and worship. He introduced himself and made us feel welcomed. His message was funny, interesting, and relevant and his delivery kept us attentive. Praise and worship was also excellent; performed by a group of young adults.
Again, it was so nice to spend Friday night in the company of fellow believers learning what God had to speak to us. We were blessed to be here and pray for blessings on their ministries. Thank you for the fellowship. We hope to return again someday.
«But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for He has been good to me.» –Psalm 13:4−6

From the first visit 16 years ago I knew this was a church family I wanted to be a part of. Christ centered, Biblically functioning with a mission to make disciples. No perfect people here just ordinary people seeking to serve our amazing God.

I’ve attended Hope off and on since 2006, it wasn’t until 2014 they actually knew it. I’ve stopped attending and they still don’t know it. No one has called to find out why or if I died or what! It’s a great church if you want to go through the motions with no actual requirements on your life accept that you give money. In the time I was there I was never greeted. Though I attended many functions and studies and participated in needed help and activities it was always clear that there is a hierarchy within the church business and they want to protect it. The church is now a twenty million dollar business, who’s focus is butts in the seats, donations and improving the site. I’m not dying this because I’m disgruntled or dislike them, it’s my experience. I love the Pastors and the brethren, I just think they’ve lost the focus.

I’ve been involved with Hope Chapel since 1996. It is a Christ-​centered church that is active in the community. There are activities for all ages, and it is easy to get involved in a small group, interest group (there’s gardening classes going on), counseling, volunteering, etc. The Christian bookstore is nice and has a good selection of books/​CDs/​gifts.
The Sunday morning services 8:30 and 10:30 are the same service. The Friday night service tends to cater to the young adult crowd — it has a different message and usually a different speaker than Sunday mornings. Any service is good.

Great worship and sermon, love those who love you, but meet the challenge of loving the unloveable.

What a great church! We came here while on vacation and everyone was so welcoming. This is definitely the church we will be attending every time we are in Maui. Thank you Hope Church! Bless you all.

My husband and I really enjoyed this church during our vacation in Maui! Contemporary service with great music and we really enjoyed Pastor Englert’s sermons! We’re looking forward to coming back on our next visit to Maui!

Amazing church. Great music and sermon. Friendly people. Kept light and spiritual.

This place was easy to find and parking was adequate.
I wasn’t greeted by anyone until a pause in the singing when the leader asked everyone to turn and welcome their neighbors.
The praise and worship team did very well. I knew most of the songs.
The message was okay.
I’d come again with my cousin on my next visit to Maui.

I love this Church! I have been a part of this church for awhile now and here are some things I have learned or observed. I hope it helps :)
Wonderful Christ centered, Bible teaching church. Great options on services: Friday nights at 7pm, Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 10:30. They have one of the best children’s ministries available. They have a Christian bookstore, perfect for quick resources. Powerful biblical, Jesus exalting, gospel centered, teaching and worship. Super good youth groups. All around a church that is making disciples and sharing the love of Jesus.
People always feel welcomed; if you are a committed follower of Jesus or If you are just curious about Christianity, what the Bible says or what it means to follow Jesus, this is the place.

Hope Chapel is a great church to get connected in a supportive community. The congregation is very warm and welcoming, the worship is contemporary and the teaching is easy to understand and relatable. The children’s ministry there is top notch both in teachers and facilities/​resources.
