If you park in the underground lot, you will see a staircase and an elevator. Take either to the first floor. From the staircase, turn right and across the courtyard, you will see the sanctuary. From the elevator, go down the hall and turn left and then you will see the courtyard to the sanctuary.
Our church offices are on the second floor.
WORSHIP SERVICES:
IN ENGLISH
10:00 a.m. – Main service in English. In-person now!
Rev. Won-Seok Yuh
This is a blended service with traditional and contemporary elements. We begin with the traditional Polynesian blowing of a shell, which symbolizes calling the Holy Spirit to be present. We utilize a projector and screen and project lyrics, announcements, and video. Musically, we sing hymns, traditional songs, we have a praise band in mostly the gospel tradition, and have contemplative music. From time to time, we have presentations of dance: hula and sign dance. In short, we try to have a little something for everyone.
