Registration is required only for delegates and visitors to the Saturday business session of the ‘Aha Makua.

Theme: We Persevere Together “E Hoʻomau Kākou” - (Psalm 66:8-12)

Format: While we will miss being together in person, sharing ono meals, and talking story, we will make the most of this opportunity to “be together” in different ways.

The ‘Aha Pae‘aina will start at 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 13, with a Conference-wide worship service. The various ‘Aha Iki meetings will be held Monday – Thursday. The Formation Missional Team will be planning workshops, free for anyone to attend, interspersed throughout the week. The ‘Aha will end with the Makua business session on Saturday and closing worship. All of this will take place online.

Registration: A separate registration packet for the ‘Aha Iki will be mailed to Hawaiian churches.  For ‘Aha Iki information, go to https://www.hcucc.org
