Parking
We've got a friendly parking team ready to greet you and take the drama out of finding a place to park. Street parking is always free on Sundays and Wednesday evenings, many of our folks park at nearby shopping centers, and we have nearby lots as needed. If you're ever unsure, pull up to the loading zone directly in front of our building and we'll take care of you.
The service
Every service begins with a prayer of worship and thanksgiving, followed by about 30 minutes of worship and praise music, usually a mix of great hymns of the faith with newer songs and choruses.
Then we open God's Word. Huikala is a Bible-preaching, Bible-teaching church. We don't take a Bible-ish thought and talk story. We take a portion of Scripture, dissect it and apply it to our lives. We place a huge emphasis on expository Bible teaching.
At the end of every service we take an offering. Giving is one of the ways we worship God, and it's for those who call Huikala home. We don't ask our guests to give.
Your keiki
Our nursery is staffed with trained, loving childcare workers and is available for birth to 2 years old at every service. Super Church is our Bible class for ages 4 to 12. More about kids at Huikala.
No judgment
Have you made a mess of your life? Welcome to the club. Maybe you're too embarrassed to even show your face in church. Yeah, we've been there. There is hope in Jesus and His church. Find out about Him and His grace here at Huikala.

What people say
I was extremely new in my faith and God placed me at Huikala. It's been a place I've been able to grow, find community, and really learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ! Huikala is an amazing and warm church family that welcomes you with open arms! I've never experienced anything like that at a church. You feel like you really belong there. Pastor Anthony preaches from the Word of God every Sunday and you hear the Gospel every sermon. His sermons are challenging and convicting (Praise God!!!!). You will grow here! He gives you real life application to go out into your week, make change, be more Christ like, and make disciples of all nations! Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and you will find people seeking after Truth at Huikala and feel His Love here!
Brooke K.on Yelp
Huikala is like no other church I've ever been to! You feel genuinely welcomed the moment you walk in, no matter your background, how you're dressed or what you look like. Pastor Anthony takes the time to personally know each person so he can pray for us and he preaches straight from the Bible every Sunday. I'm not the same person I was when I moved here and I credit that entirely to the work God is doing through Huikala Baptist Church. If you're looking for a family away from home, have questions you need answered or want to grow in your walk with God, I don't think there's a better church on the island for you!

Huikala is the best church I could ever imagine being a member of. My background range from traditional Chinese superstitious ancestor worship to Pentecostal speaking in tongues to working the sacraments to make myself good enough to breeze through Purgatory. I was saved at another Bible believing church 18 years ago. But the thing is my old church and a few more I've been members of do not stress enough of the Good News and how we can interact through the Word. Since coming here in Feb of this year, I have overcome decade long sins and having joy in worship, fellowship, etc. I am like did I even go to church before coming here. Sunday night was another of multiple life changing messages to me. My childhood consisted of being send from relatives to relatives, who says they love me and also got rid of me when they didn't want me. I spend my whole life looking for my identity and everywhere I turned to hurts me. When pastor says my identity IS in Christ, and expounded on that, well, I am FINALLY free from this lifelong burden. I second all the good things the other members have posted on here. God bless.

Great Church we visited while on vacation. They love people and preach straight from the Bible!
Chris P.on Google
I adore this place! The people are welcoming from the moment they see you and make you feel like you've always been apart of the family. Pastor King and his family are great. The church is always planning activities to get the congregation together for fellowship or community outreach. What an amazing true Bible preaching church!
Ariel R.on Google
The website describes Huikala as "a place where you can find hope, peace, forgiveness and friendship". It's all true, because Huikala is a Bible-living fellowship. "For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You." Psalm 86:5
P. T.on Google
Literally The best church I’ve ever been to. Everybody at Huikala loves God and you can feel it as soon as you walk to the door. Pastor King’s sermons are straight out of the Bible and speak directly to the heart. Lastly me and my Best Friend gave our lives to Christ and actually got Baptized together at Huikala. If you’re looking for change in your life look no further than Huikala.

I've been attending Huikala Baptist Church for 6 years. I wasn't a churching going person but when I first step into Huikala everything just fell into place and I knew this is where God wanted me to be. The messages God sends thru Pastor King are so inspiring, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. I have learn more of who God is and the promises he's giving. This is the BEST CHURCH, I've ever been too.
D. D.on Google
Our family has been attending Huikala for nearly a year. We started going because of the location, outreach, doctrine - we kept going because every single person attending this church cares. For us and everyone in the community. Our son has been embraced by the outstanding children's director and the other adults that work/play/teach a LOT with the kids (lock-ins, camp, long sunday school services when the pastor fails to check the clock)....... Our teenage daughter attends the Wednesday night youth group - it's not quite as fun as the younger group (!) but she's always reminding me to get her to youth group on Wednesday nights.... I grew up in a strict Southern Baptist home - one of those where everyone went "every time the doors were opened" and have an undergraduate degree from Baylor University - I honestly could have gone the rest of my life without attending another Baptist church service - the rest of my life...... But Huikala won me over - I'm not the "best" member - I still kind of drag my feet on Sunday mornings - but when I arrive, the music (the pianist is outstanding!), the upbeat/positive member greeters, the (relentlessly) encouraging pastor, the Biblically-based teaching (trust me, I know it when I hear it) - and the remarkable sense of humor of the pastor's wife as she navigates guests, children's church, members, and so on and so on..... inspirational! Attend one Sunday - it starts at 10 - you can sleep in AND go to church!
Casey A.on Yelp
If your Christian I suggest you go to this church. There is no other like it. Nothing but the word of god, good people, and peace in the air.
Yeilen F.on Yelp
If you want to feel warm and welcomed no matter your situation, race, class, etc. Huikala is it! Biblical truth preached with love in an open honest real world life application way. Aloha spirit, Ohana and Jesus are felt here from the moment your step foot in the door, you will not be disappointed.
Norma A.on Yelp
Huikala Baptist church has the sweetest spirit. This church has challenged my heart and convicted me from God's word. I'm grateful to have this body of Christ that really knows how to love and also is interested in your heart more than your appearance. Pastor and his family has helped our family grow in many areas but specially in following Gods word for our family. We cannot imagine our Hawaii journey without this church. Thank you Huikala Ohana!
Carmen M.on Yelp
Sometimes you walk into a place where you have never been yet feel at home... know no one but everyone feels like family...Huikala Baptist Church is that place. Everyone is welcome and everyone is loved. Pastor Anthony and his wife Angela are genuine in their love for God and love for people. Pastor Anthony simply teaches the Bible. He doesn't impose his opinions or preferences on his people it is simply a church that believes and teaches the Bible. The people of the church are given many opportunities to give back to God and the community. I have been to many churches on the island and I am so glad that God sent the King family to Honolulu. I promise you will be blessed! It is evident that God is present in this place!
Buffy G.on Yelp
Welcoming, Inviting, and Inspirational. They are an extraordinary network of Christian community, right in the heart of Honolulu's Ka'ka'ako 's, ahu'pu'a'a (neighborhood). From my first visit, and then continued attendance, I truly felt the warmth and Biblical wisdom of their pastor and youth leaders . Big Mahalo to all who make the Sunday and Wednesdays services happen!
E'beth H.on Yelp
Great church in a great location. People were very friendly at our visit. If we lived closer, we would be interested in coming here more often
Jonathan L.on Yelp
Having a fundraiser for Africa was amazing! Your Church takes the Great Commission to the next level, thank you for your example and for being for real.
Benjamin V.on Google
I regularly attended this church when I lived in Honolulu. After moving out of the central city, I tried other churches, but missed the fellowship I found with the adults and even some of the kids here at Huikala. Funny thing, I am a professional teacher of very young children, but I have not related to the children at other churches in nearly the same way that I have found the keiki at Huikala to be. Maybe that's a sign that Huikala is the place I really belong? I'm thinking I'm going to give it another try even if I live at a distance from them at presentI
Stephen H.on Yelp
If you're looking for a solid Christian family, look no further. This church is Biblically sound and some of the most loving people you will ever meet. Only been going for a month and they've already made me part of the family.
Lydia P.on Google
My wife and I visited the island of Oahu on vacation. We visited this church for Sunday worship. We were warmly welcomed into the assembly and worshiped among the regular attendees as brothers and sisters in Christ. This church picks up the Bible and reads from it. They preach God’s word and point to Christ as their salvation. The sermon given praised God and worshiped Him for who He is and what He has done. There seems to be many opportunities to have fellowship among the believers and to serve to aid Christ’s kingdom. Thank you for welcoming us
Adrian M.on Google
The first day that we went to Huikala we were new to the island, and I admit that I was a bit nervous. But EVERYONE was so welcoming to this mom and her 5 boys. They helped me figure out where to park (over in Ala Moana has always been the easiest for me), and made us feel at home. When I talk to people about Huikala, there are many who have seen and wondered about the big black building they pass as they go to Ala Moana (try parking near Foodland or on the 2nd floor near the Jamba Juice/Nordstroms). If you are one of those who has been wondering what the black building is, wonder no more! Come and join us this Sunday!

When I first moved to Oahu I tried a few churches and it was only at Huikala that I found a real community of Bible believing Christians. I've been coming to Huikala for about 4.5 years now and will continue to be my home church while I'm on the island. The children's ministry and nursery is something we truly appreciate now that we have a little one. Being a parent now, I understand the importance of investing and providing a good spiritual foundation to our child and being at a right place to nurture that is critical. The fellowship at Huikala is awesome. The church is composed of genuinely warm, joyful and God loving folks which makes our meet and greet truly special. We sing hymns and some newer songs that glorify Jesus. The sermon is relayed in a very clear and simplified way that everyone can understand; relatable/ applicable to all even in a different maturity levels of faith. Our pastor and his family looks out for everyone and encourages continued spiritual growth for each individual members as well as guests. I truly recommend this church and hope you can visit us soon so we can fellowship together.
Ping F.on Yelp
We are so glad we found Huikala Baptist Church! The first Sunday my husband and I visited, we knew it was where God wanted us to attend regularly. The people are so friendly and welcoming and the Pastor delivers an impactful sermon from the Bible every Sunday. We highly recommend a visit!
Rachael B.on Yelp
Huikala is simply amazing! The people are so friendly, welcoming and know just how to love you.They preach solid Bible doctrine with an emphasis on Christ's love. Every service is refreshing and something can be learned from each message. I love this church and the people that make it up. If you're looking for a church to call home, make it Huikala!
Thatcher K.on Yelp
From day 1 I felt instantly welcome and a part of the family. I moved to the island without knowing anybody, and the Lord led me to Huikala and the wonderful family that comes along with it. I didn't even have to check out another church, I love Huikala so much! The Lord is moving and working here, and I have grown so much in my faith over the past year that I have been here. I love that it is a Bible-preaching church, we have fun, and we take care of each other!
Alyssa I.on Yelp
I cannot imagine a closer church family than Huikala. Pastor King brings the word every service and is truly a servant of The Lord. The welcome we received was so warm and loving that we could hardly wait to get involved. BUT, unlike other churches who put you to work as soon as you come, there is zero pressure to do anything other than worship and enjoy times of fellowship. With that said, this church makes a real impact upon its community. Reaching out to serve in His name. It's done in such a manner that it is more fun than work as we gather together to spread the Gospen of Jesus and serve our neighbors. If you are looking for a Bible-preaching, loving church family, who actually enjoys being together, Huikala is the place for you.
Peter M.on Yelp
Huikala Baptist Church truly feels like family. From the pastor to the people, the fellowship here is genuine and welcoming. What I love most is the authenticity, you don’t have to put on a front or pretend to have it all together. It’s a safe place to be honest, grow, and be encouraged in your walk with Christ. This church sticks closely to the Word of God, teaching what the Bible actually says rather than personal opinions. I also really appreciate the focus on developing and cultivating strong Christian men. We’re so thankful God led us here.
Ellis T.on Google
Huikala has been such a blessing to my family and I. We started attending the church during the COVID pandemic, and from day #1 I felt the love of other Christians that made me feel at home immediately despite all the lockdowns that were in place. This church preaches the entire book of the Bible. The Pastor and staff are committed to meeting you where you are, teaching and preaching the Word of God, and helping you to become a stronger disciple for the cause of Christ.
Rocky R.on Google
I’ve loved and been blessed to call this church and everyone here home for the last 5 years. I can’t imagine growing in my faith anywhere else and I know it’s why The Lord lead me here. I am so grateful for the Kings and their obedience to answer the call to build such a conducive environment, rightly handling the Word of God with solid, applicable Biblical Truths. Jesus truly loves this church and you will too!
Reiley H.on Google
Friendliest church in America! Full of grace and truth which is what this world is lacking.
Kyle H.on Yelp
My family of three have been attending Huikala for about 3 months now. The members are so welcoming and warm. I appreciate how passionate they are about sharing the love of Jesus through their words as well as their actions. It is always so encouraging and a blessing to see the faithful members still active in the church. The atmosphere is modern in terms of chairs instead of pews, and words projected on the screen versus hymnal books. The music is a combination of old hymns and contemporary christian songs. And the instrument used is mostly the piano, but the guitar, ukulele, and a cajo’n are used as well and sounds heavenly when played together. Paster King preaches God’s word as it is. He does not mince words or change words so as not to hurt feelings. Pastor King preaches the actual Bible and not some watered down version. He gives a historical context when preaching so you can grasp the ideology and life of the time being discussed. This is a bible preaching-bible believing church just like Christ’s church in the book of Acts. My family of three have grown immensely closer to the Lord over the past several months with this amazing body of believers. So much so, that we decided to join Huikala. And it’s amazing to see just how much this church is stirring people’s hearts. It’s special! And, my family and I want to be a part of it. If you live in the area or if you’re just visiting, Huikala is a church you wanna come and see!
Carissa W.on Google
This church is awesome! Met a man in the service named McKinley who was so happy with his church family and his pastor. He was very encouraging to talk to. You could tell from him that pastor king has been doing a great job leading his church and teams with a strong emphasis towards the gospel and team unity. What a blessing!

If you are looking for a church with solid Bible teaching, seeking to grow deeper in your faith, and wanting to be 100% sure of your salvation, I recommend checking out Huikala Baptist Church.
Glenda G.on Google
When we first moved to Oahu, we were looking for a church that preached the Bible and had a strong since of community. Our first weekend on island we were invited to Huikala and have been attending ever since. My family has been challenged and grown tremendously from the Biblical messages God has used to convict us and draw us closer to him. My children (3, 8, 10) beg to go to church, they leave their programs sharing details of what they learn from the Bible each week. If you are looking for a Bible teaching and believing church home, Huikala is it!
Kellie K.on Yelp
So thankful we found Huikala Baptist Church while visiting Oahu for vacation. We immediately felt like family when we came here. The people are so welcoming and genuinely kind. Solid Bible teaching. Great kids ministry from people who evidently care about kids. We'll definitely come back to Huikala on our next visit.

My husband and I move every three years or so and each time He has brought us to a wonderful church where we make great friends and grow in The Lord.
