Welcome to Community Church of Honolulu

Our Mission

Welcome to the online home of Community Church of Honolulu! We are working hard to build a community of justice and grace grounded in the teachings of Jesus.

Here at CCH you will be welcomed by a congregation of people from all walks of life, babies to members in their 90s, newcomers and founding members of the church, people who feel pretty certain about their faith and a lot of us who bring our questions with us every single week. We stick together because we believe that communities of committed people can change the world to be more just, more loving, more grace-filled, and we want to be part of making that happen.

You’ll hear a welcome in worship that includes the phrase, “Wherever you are on your journey of life, you are welcome here.” And we mean that–no exceptions. We hope to welcome you in person or online soon!

Join us for Worship

Worship is the heart of our community. We work hard to make worship services excellent and accessible, and we hope you leave every experience of worship at CCH changed–challenged to see your life and the world in new ways.

Learning to Say Thank You

As November is traditionally a month of harvest celebrations leading up to Thanksgiving, during this month in worship we’ll reconsider all we have to be grateful for in a series called, Learning to Say Thank You. CCH member Dr. Rick Power will be our preacher for November 9 and November 16!
Building Improvement Plan Survey

We need your opinion! The Community Church of Honolulu is working to become a hub of justice, love, and grace for both our congregation and the wider community. In 2024, the Council allocated $500,000 from our reserve funds for campus improvements in pursuit of this vision. Projects already completed include the Sanctuary A/V, extensive roof repairs and sealing, plumbing fixes, air conditioner upgrades, sanctuary carpeting, and a whole host of maintenance items. Thanks to generous donors, approximately $195,000 remains for the Building Improvement Plan (BIP). Your input is now vital as Council reworks and prioritizes the next phase of major capital projects to ensure they align with our congregational vision. Please fill out the survey by clicking here by November 7 to help shape the future of our campus.

Rev. Dr. Amy Butler, Senior Minister

Welcome to CCH! My name is Amy Butler and I have had the great honor of serving the congregation at Community Church as Designated Pastor. July 1, 2025 we begin a new journey together as congregation and Settled Senior Minister. Whenever I look at a church website, I want to know what motivates the leaders, so here’s a little background about me.

I am a person of faith who has always been fascinated by this question: “What does it take to build a community that can change the world?” CCH is gifted to be living that grand experiment in our island home, a culture in which the values of Hawai’i infuse who we are: Aloha (love, respect) Lōkahi (harmony, unity) Mālama (to care for, to honor) Pono (goodness, morality) Po‘okela (greatest, to excel).

I grew up in Hawai’i and these values inform my work. My Christian faith has provided a professional framework for exploring the possibility and promise of that question. Since 2000 I’ve had the great honor of serving and loving four faith communities in various pastoral roles: St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans; Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, DC; and The Riverside Church in the City of New York.; National City Christian Church in Washington, DC. You can find out more about my background here.

To now be back in these beautiful islands with the lovely, lovely congregation at Community Church of Honolulu is a gift beyond words. Here I have found a community of people who welcome questions; who tenaciously build community; who value legacy while welcoming change; who are willing to take a chance on each other. We all know that being human is hard. Living in relationship is hard. Being the church is often really challenging. And, love wins in the end.

If you are looking for a community in which you will be welcomed unconditionally, loved lavishly, and challenged in ways that deepen your connection to God and to the people around you, I hope you’ll visit Community Church of Honolulu. And if you’d like to connect with me personally, please send me an email and let’s chat!

Me ke aloha and welcome!
