WHO WE ARE
Since 1984, Kihei Baptist has existed to help people see the glory and love of God and to help them become passionate followers of Jesus Christ. Our purpose is found in the two “greats” outlined by our Lord:
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27
THE GREAT COMMISSION
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
- LOVE GOD
A God-centered church is a healthy and thriving church. So loving, glorifying, and worshipping God in Christ is our first priority. The only way we love God is because He first loved us. In love, He made himself known to us, sent His Son to live and die for us, so we can love God and know Him through faith in Jesus alone. - LOVE PEOPLE
With God’s love resounding in our hearts and through our lives, we become people who truly love those around us. We want what is best for them, so introducing them to the life that is available only through Jesus and helping others become more like Jesus is our undying passion. - FOLLOW JESUS
The church’s mission is to help people become true followers of Jesus Christ, men and women who choose to organize their lives around the good news of His love and power. As Christ followers, we are constantly learning from Him how to live like Him and fulfilling His Great Commission.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
ABOUT THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is God’s infallible Word, telling of who God is and who we are. The Bible on God’s authority reveals what fundamentally went wrong with the world, how to have a restored and reconciled relationship with God, and how to live for God’s great glory which brings us great joy, all based upon His work of grace and not our own self-effort or good works.
We believe the Bible was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of God the Holy Spirit and it is without errors in the original writings. It is the ultimate authority and sufficient guide for our doctrine, what we believe, and for our practice, how we live.
ABOUT GOD
We believe there is only one true God, that He is real and knowable, and that He has always existed in three Persons as Father, Son, and Spirit. Each Person of the Godhead is fully God and co-equal in power, glory, eternality, and divinity.
We believe God is completely holy and good. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. He created all things and continues to sustain all things by the Word of His power.
We believe Jesus, God the Son, became a man to live a perfect life we could never live and die a death we deserve on the cross under God’s judgment, because our sins separate us from God and make us guilty before Him.
We believe Jesus died as a substitute sacrifice for sinners, absorbing God’s just wrath for all who believe, then rose from the grave in victory over sin and death. He then ascended into heaven, where He is now seated in power. He’ll one day return again to save His people forever and to judge the world in justice.
