OUR HISTORY
Celebrating God's perfect timing and provision
In 1988, a group of high school students in Mililani started a Bible study and were on fire for Jesus. They asked Pastor Jeff MacKay from Hope Chapel Kaneohe to be their pastor, forming "Hope Central Mililani." That October, they began holding services at Kipapa Elementary School, and the church grew quickly—so much so that just three weeks later, they added a Sunday morning service to keep up with the new members.
Over the years, the church moved a few times, and in 1998, Pastor Jeff felt called to plant a church in Osaka, Japan. It was hard to say goodbye, but the church looked forward to a new chapter. In 2003, Pastor Tim Greseth stepped in with a fresh vision, re-launching the church as "Hope Chapel Mililani" and expanding its reach beyond the local community. We called Mililani Uka Elementary our home for many years.
Then in 2022, Pastor Tim passed the mantle of leadership to Pastor Jared Yamaguchi, who started his faith journey as a teenager in Hope Chapel Mililani's Youth Group. And in a truly amazing two-fold full-circle move on God's part, our home returned to Kipapa Elementary the following year.
We can't wait to see what the Lord has in store next for our church family, Hope Chapel Mililani.
Making a difference for the kingdom of God is about living out His love and sharing His grace. By showing kindness and living according to His teachings, we spread God’s love and help others see Him more clearly, making a real impact in the world.
MAKE
a Difference
Discovering our God-given purpose helps us understand why we're here and how we can make a meaningful impact. By exploring our gifts and abilities, we find unique ways to serve others and glorify God, leading to a deeper connection with Him and a life of passion and fulfillment.
DISCOVER
Purpose
Finding freedom through relationships helps us let go of what holds us back and unlock our true potential as God’s children. Through connection with others and God, we step into who we’re meant to be, living with confidence and purpose.
FIND
Freedom
Knowing God through Christ is key to finding true purpose and peace. A relationship with Him reveals our place in His plan and transforms how we live. It’s not just about religion, but about discovering hope, forgiveness, and love through Him.
