We left secure roots and a successful construction business in California, moving to a place many only dream of coming. Hawaii has indeed become our home and God continues to amaze us with His grace. As Administrative Pastor at Good Shepherd Church, I have had the priviledge of watching the Lord work graciously through His people to extend the Kingdom of God on Oahu. We have been blessed to be part of this dynamic, Christ centered, people-oriented ministry. Now having planted daughter churches on Oahu and established Mauka-Makai Ministries, the adventure continues as we follow Jesus into the next chapters of spreading the Great News of God's love for us in Christ. Please feel free to call me anytime at 523-2927 x21. God's very best to you!

We know that life is hectic and people are increasingly more disconnected from each other. Ours is becoming another generation of desperate and lonely people. At Good Shepherd Church, we are a family of Bible-believing Christians and we care for one another. We are singles and couples, we are young and old. And we're glad we're connected. Good Shepherd Church is a place where we feel wanted...and not just when we're feeling great, but even when we're down. Especially when we're feeling down. We're down-to-earth people just like you - learning to live in a tough, challenging world. Sometimes we're knocked down, sometimes we're bruised too, but we're always being picked up and cleaned off by our friend Jesus, who shows us how to win the battles of life. Good Shepherd Church is a "fun place to get serious about God" and we would love it if you would join us.Good Shepherd Church is affiliated with Mauka-Makai Ministries Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:34:50 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=9 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=9&article_id=16 Aloha! Hi, my name is Max Fowler and I am the Community Life Pastor here in Lilha at Good Shepherd Church. I was born and raised here in Hawaii and graduated from Kaiser High School. I went on to the University of Hawaii, earning my B.S. in 2001 and in 2006, graduated from Hawaii Theological Seminary, with a M.A. in Religion. My wife, Vanessa, is my best friend, partner in ministry and the love of my life. We have two daughters, Maile (3) and Skye (1), who are true gifts from God. Our family likes to spend time playing at the beach in the sand and waves, visiting with family and friends and at the shaved ice store in our neighborhood! Our ministry here at Good Shepherd Church in Liliha is fresh, exciting and dynamic! The Community Life Pastor helps to lead the church outside of its four walls, meeting the people of the community where they are at, blessing them with the love and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ. We are building friendships with the people of the Liliha community, ministering in fun and creative ways like: Free Movies, Music Concerts, Game Nights, Family Fun Nights, Christmas and Easter Events, Bible Study Groups, Anti-Drug Rallies, Crime and Safety Meetings, Neighborhood Security Watch Patrol, and Community Clean-Ups. A special relationship with our local elementary school has also been developed. Good Shepherd Church has been able to partner with Lanakila Elementary School to improve student achievement, which leads to a bright future for all of our community's keiki. We've collaborated in certain areas like: The Save America's Youth (S.A.Y. Yes!) Tutoring Program, Summer Reading Program for Kindergarteners, Daily After-School Program, School Community Council, Common Grace Mentoring Program and School Beautification Projects. It is our goal as Good Shepherd Church to see holistic community transformation, in our churches, schools, businesses, homes and lives. We long to see how God will continue to bless and transform the people of Liliha with the power of His love! If you have any questions about Good Shepherd Church or anything regarding Community Life, please don't hesitate to email or call me. God bless you, Max Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:20:05 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=17 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=17&article_id=15 Ho'ola is a Hawaiian term that means to save, to nurture, to bring wholeness, to give life, and to revive. The term ho'ola accurately describes the ministry of Jesus who came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10. We are under construction, a work in progress as the Lord restores us to the wholeness He originally intended (for more, go to The Christian Faith and Our Core Values). The Lord works out this construction process within a loving, transparent community of people who love and serve one another. That's what a ho'ola group is all about, people growing and being built up through the grace of God and the love of the group so that each is equipped to love God and serve others by bringing God's grace and wholeness to them. You don't have to worry about not having it all together, since none of us have it all together. . . . yet. On this side of heaven, we are a work in progress, but when the Lord takes us home to Him, we will be made complete. Ho'ola groups meet regularly and include singles, couples, seniors, and families. There is a Ho'ola group just right for you!

These groups typically gather around a common interest and are sort of a "club" or "Hui". Some typical Huis would include sports teams, book clubs, service teams, sewing groups, etc. Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:38:16 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=17 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=17&article_id=56 Christian fellowship is so much more than a Sunday service! At Good Shepherd Church we encourage everyone to be part of a small group. It is in these gatherings that real spiritual growth takes place as we encourage one another to live in the grace of Jesus. Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:12:31 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=17 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=17&article_id=9 We believe that we all need to be connected to each other beyond Sunday, where only brief "hi's" and "bye's" can be exchanged. In additions to Sunday morning, we get together during the week in homes as "Ho'ola Groups" so that we can fellowship with each other and apply the Bible to real-life issues. Ho'ola groups meet all over the island from Waianae to Hawaii Kai, from Kailua to Town; and include singles, couples, seniors, and families. There is a Ho'ola group just right for you! Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:10:57 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=19 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=19&article_id=13 Here at Good Shepherd Church we offer several opportunities for children to learn just how much Jesus loves them. Every Sunday the following children's ministries are available. Children's Church Ages 4-9 At Children's church your kids sing songs, learn Bible stories, do crafts, play games and have lots of fun learning about the love of Jesus in many different ways. Since we are a family church, we all worship together starting at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday. Grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles and children of all ages worship God together for the first part of each worship service through the prayers, songs and special presentations. Right before the sermon, the kids all come forward for a blessing or a children's sermon and then are dismissed to Kid's Klub. Kid's Klub is where your children will learn life applicable lessons on how to live a Christian life through entertaining videos and group discussion. For ministries to children ages 10 and older, see our Youth section Wed, 19 Sep 2007 20:00:41 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=36 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=36&article_id=55 We encourage people to know the love of God and to share that love with others. We provide a place for people to meet Jesus Christ personally and to be nurtured and grow in their faith. Real people, with real faith, in real community can change their world.

Tue, 7 Feb 2006 18:39:52 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=2 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=2&article_id=2 Our church is a community of believers with Jesus Christ as its head. We seek to love, respect and care for one another as a demonstration of His love for us. Our outreach is to those who have no church home. Many in our area are disillusioned with religion. They have felt the sting of legalism with its impossible demands. Some have seen hypocrisy. Others have had no religious background and therefore see Christianity as irrelevant. The missing element has been knowing Jesus personally and experiencing the transformed life only He can bring. We exist for our non-members and desire to develop lasting relationships with those who are seeking peace & truth.

THE TRINITY: The Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is eternal, almighty, holy, mysterious and at the same time, He is loving and intimate with His people. SALVATION: We are saved only through our Triune God's grace, by Jesus' death and resurrection. BIBLE: The Bible is the true, indestructible, incorruptible, living Word of God and vital for faith and life. MEANS OF GRACE: God's grace is present and active among His people through His Word, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN: We are a Gospel centered people (Evangelical), who hold to the profound Scriptural truths that the Lutheran Reformation restored. PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS: Every Christian, not just pastors and church leaders, has a life calling to do God's work. Thu, 2 Feb 2006 17:42:45 MST http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=16 http://www.goodshepherdhonolulu.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=16&article_id=5 GOD . . . . . . loves you and wants to be your friend. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3: 16; NIV) . . . has a wonderful plan for your life. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29: 11; NIV) YOU . . . . . . are separated from God by sin. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3: 23; NIV) . . . therefore cannot know His love and plan. "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear." (Isaiah 59: 2; NIV) JESUS . . . . . . is God who became man, the only bridge between Himself and you. "Phillip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.' Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Phillip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say "Show us the Father'?" (John 14; 8-9; NIV) . . . "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14: 6; NIV) . . . took the consequences of your sins by dying in your place, and rose from the dead to give you a new life and to carry out His wonderful plan for you. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5: 8; NIV) FAITH . . . . . . is receiving Jesus as your personal Savior and Friend. "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." (John 1: 12; NIV) . . . includes sorrow over sin and turning away from a self-centered life . . . "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2: 38; NIV) . . . and trusting Jesus for forgiveness and for power to live henceforth for Him alone. "And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again." (II Corinthians 5: 15; NIV) LETTING JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE. . . . . . can be as simple as a prayer asking him in. "Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins and rising from the dead to give me a new life. I gladly receive You as my Savior and Lord! Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take the management of my life. Make me the person You want me to be. Let others meet You through me. Amen." Now, join us at Good Shepherd Church as we come together for life-giving adventures in discovery and revelation, prayer and fellowship, ministry and missions, and praise and worship of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

TWO-WINGED-CHURCH: As a church body, we experience Jesus' Presence, Power, and Purpose in our lives through celebration and ho'ola groups.

HO'OLA GROUPS: God's people gather in small groups to care for one another, to grow in discipleship, to reach pre-Christians, to mature leaders, and to multiply.

SPIRITUAL GIFTS: The Holy Spirit gifts every Christian with a gift that is used to build up the body and to facilitate the mission. The use of each Christian's gift(s) is essential to the proper functioning of the body. SANCTIFICATION: The Holy Spirit molds us into the likeness of Jesus and prepares us for His mission through various ways, including the Means of Grace (see #4 top) and the following: BIBLE STUDY: Regular study of God's Word is indispensable. PRAYER: When we pray the Holy Spirit's power is released in our ministry to one another and to the world.
