Leadership

JD leads us in worship on Sundays both in music and liturgy. A guitar player and singer, JD enjoys his family, music, good coffee and time at the beach.  He is an all-around fan of the ocean and likes body surfing (body whomping) Sandy's and Makapu'u, as well as surfing his home breaks on the Windward shores.

Pastor Walt leads us in the areas of Community and Mission.  This is a role that spans being connected in meaningful neighborhood partnerships here locally- serving our kupuna, students, and houseless communities, all the way to the other side of the world- working with our global missionaries. He and Sally have one daughter, Emma.  You can catch Walt throughout Hawaii as he plays slack key festivals, and as he regularly leads us in worship on Sundays.

Pastor Sean serves as our Lead Pastor-guiding vision, Sunday morning preaching, and leading our staff. He is married to Jessica and together they have three kids. He's a surfer, Brazilian jiu-jitsu enthusiast, vinyl record spinner, craft coffee fan, and dad to two pitbulls and one trouble-puppy. He's also a fitness coach at East Side Fit Club in Kailua.

Amanda has been with our church since 2013. What started as offering to help wrap cables after service has grown over the years, and she now leads our AV Ministry! She is our A/V Ninja by day, and works as a laboratory scientist by night.
