Lahaina Rebuild Fund
Our Story Since the Fire
In the three years since the fire, our congregation has done what God created churches to do: we support one another and our neighbors, we grieve together, we serve our church and community side by side, and we share our hope in our savior through worship and action. Together, we have slowly begun to rebuild, not only in brick and mortar but also in spirit. We are also actively working on rebuilding our church sanctuary and preschool.
At the heart of everything we do is a commandment that Jesus gave His disciples:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35)
A Church Built on Welcome
We believe the church we rebuild will be more than a building: it will be a place of radical welcome, where everyone belongs, where no one is a stranger, and where the love Jesus described is practiced and felt.
Today, we are operating out of a temporary office and an open-air space we've come to call our Garden Sanctuary. We are very happy to be home, worshipping in this humble yet beautiful space, alive with worship, community, and love.
We've shared a video update so you can see where we are and hear directly from our community — watch it here.
We have received conditional approval for a FEMA grant to assist with our rebuilding efforts, which will be a significant support as construction costs continue to rise in Maui. This is truly an answered prayer, and we are very grateful for it. However, it's important to note that FEMA will only reimburse us for a portion of our expenses. We will need to cover all costs upfront and then request reimbursement from FEMA. We are therefore working to ensure we have enough cash on hand to keep the construction process moving forward.
