from Generation to Generation"
Keawala‘i Congregational Church, in Mākena, Maui, Hawaii, a Christian fellowship where we welcome all, love all and accept all into our ‘ohana, has established a permanent endowment fund to preserve our Hawaiian heritage and to sustain its work and mission. This fund consists of a permanent corpus of monetary resources, originating from the gifts of faithful church members and friends of the Church.
One of life’s richest blessings comes through a lifetime of involvement in a community of faith. Keawala‘i Church has been a special place of blessings for over 175 years.
We can insure that Keawala‘i Church will be a blessing for generations yet to come. Through your estate plan you can provide for your loved ones and for your community of faith, Keawala‘i Church. We invite you to join us in this effort to run the race that has been set before us, always aware of the One who is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
