Adult SMALL GROUPS
Meeting Wednesdays at 7PM
Small Groups at Huikala are informal, weekly gatherings where multiple groups of 8–10 people come together to pray, study the Bible, and grow in their walk with Jesus together. Each group goes through the same study material and our groups aren’t divided by age, life stage, or background—just an eclectic, organic, Jesus-centered community learning and growing together. It’s a great way to break into the church family and a simple, meaningful way to connect, be encouraged, and live out your faith.
Larry, originally from Mississippi, and Buffy, originally from North Carolina, now call Ewa Beach home. They enjoy relaxing at home, exploring new destinations, and serving in their local church. They love Huikala because God’s Word is faithfully preached, the Gospel is clearly shared, and the community is truly special. Larry retired after 27 years in the Army infantry and is a Purple Heart recipient.
