First Baptist Church of Pearl City

Our Vision

Our purpose as a New Testament church is to honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by carrying out His command to make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19 - 20). Specifically, we believe God has given us a vision of reaching the lost and the unchurched people living in our Jerusalem (the cities in which we live, work, and play), our Judea (the State of Hawaii), our Samaria (the mainland), and our world (Acts 1:8).

To some this may seem like an impossible task for First Baptist Church of Pearl City but with God all things are possible.

Mark 10:27, Looking at them, Jesus said, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

At First Baptist Church of Pearl City, it is our desire that you catch the vision God has given us; that you begin to visualize the invisible. It is also our desire that you clearly see the future of our ministry; what it can be and what it must be. But most importantly, we want you to capture the concept of our vision so that it will capture you and provide a foundation for your personal ministry with us at First Baptist Church of Pearl City.

Mission Statement

The objective of First Baptist Church Pearl City is to become increasingly aware of our relationship to God through Jesus Christ, to sustain a vital relationship with Him and to be used of God to bring all persons into this same relationship.

Vision Statement

The vision of First Baptist Church of Pearl City is to reach the lost and the unchurched people in our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and world by the planting of churches in areas where there currently are none and the revitalizing of churches already in existence thus fulfilling the mandate of Acts 1:8. Our strategy for accomplishing this vision contains three key phases designated as the “3 – M’s of Victory”: Making Disciples; Maturing Believers; and Multiplying Ministries. These “3 – M’s of Victory” are essential for advancing the Kingdom of God through church planting and church revitalization.
