Calvary Chapel Honolulu

Love everything about CALVARY and find Pastor Bill’s messages inspiring and insightful! Use to attend when they use to meet at the Empress theatre (years ago) I find this campus very ‘refreshing’.

I used to go to this church I even got baptized here after giving up Catholicism. I like it especially the worship songs. I’m not a fan of rapture and end times which Pastor Bill is so passionate to talk about even in the bible studies. I got really turned off when he started inviting speakers who are very homophobic. I think pastor Bill too is very much against marriage equality. I was still there when Hawaii just started campaigning on it and I remember he invited a speaker a veteran who was very obviously against homosexuality. I myself is gay, I was sitting there and I can’t even comprehend what he was talking about. All I heard is this guy full of ignorance and hate. And the people were nodding and agreeing with him I couldn’t even swallow and breath. I wanted to leave but I stayed and I wanted to hear every ignorant and hateful words he said. After that Sunday I never went back again. There are many gay friendly churches out there, if your LGBT don’t go to this church. I’m now atheist, and I feel happier and never been free. Free from bullshit and end of the world crap and homophobic pastor. If he is going to judge me for my being gay well I don’t want to listen to a hateful homophobic, ex-​hippie, and you know what I mean with ex-​hippie, who lives in one of the posh houses in port lock, Hawaii Kai. So much for «leave everything you have… and follow me». I just hope he will get rapture soon with his homophobic followers there will be less hateful people in Oahu. I know you will read this and to all your church members. If there is god, I’m sure it was never a mistake that there are gay people, it not a choice, lifestyle or sin. All of us needs to be loved, we walk our own journey. We are here to be a force for good to others. If there is a god like what you teach, let him be the one to judge me, not you and your homophobic followers. No one is righteous, not a single one.

Used to work here, now on maternity. You can’t really complain about them not letting you bring your kids in… and there’s a mother’s room… if you’re attending a place to hear the word of God, do you really want to hear kids screaming? Everyone is super warm and caring here. :)

I wish I could give a more in depth review of the service but my family was turned away at the door. I went online and must have missed the part where children were not allowed in the service. I showed up with a four year old and a one year old. We were told at the entrance the pastor gets distracted during his message when there are children, because children can be disruptive. Yes children can be disruptive, but the implication was that I wouldn’t have the common sense to bring them outside. It was our FIRST time, I was hoping we could at least attend service and make other arrangements for our kids next time. Yes, there was a children’s ministry, but I’m not gonna leave my kids with strangers the first time. Nice building, never got to see the inside. Whatever happened to Matthew 19:14?

«Simply teaching the Bible simply» is Calvary Chapel’s systematic way of studying the Bible verse-​by-​verse as taught by Pastor Chuck Smith when the Lord gave him the vision to begin the Calvary Chapel ministry in Southern California. Today, Calvary Chapel Honolulu is just one extension of Pastor Chuck’s fruits.
Come and see that the Lord is good… great teaching accompanied by modern worship and awesome fellowship among His people!

Live in Madison, AL but it’s always nice to hear a great Spirit led sermon by Pastor Bill Stonebreaker! Don’t forget to enjoy the Café grindz too. Parking is ample and so is God’s love here.

I absolutely LOVE this church. The worship is awesome and the times that I’ve visited, the message has been good. The facility itself and its surroundings is beautiful. It’s nice that they have a bookstore and café on site. The lady that runs the children’s ministry is a sweetheart. It’s terrible that I forgot her name because she gave me a thorough tour of the p, ace the first time I was there.

Great place to worship and get fed the Word of God! And the fellowship is pretty awesome too!

I am not from Hawaii. I attended a Sunday evening service with my family who are regular attendees. Everyone was super friendly. The church is very modern, bright, and air conditioned.
As soon as I entered the parking lot I was greeted by parking lot attendees that were friendly. I got to the entrance of the door and an usher opened the door for me and greeted me with an Aloha and a smile.
The church is tech savy offering powerpoint slides, podcasts, and cds of the pastors sermons.
I did not go but they also have a café.
