Stepping into Manoa Valley, you’ll find the University Avenue Baptist Church, a hub of community activity. The University Avenue Baptist Church isn’t just a place for Sunday service. It’s woven into the fabric of the community, offering a range of programs for everyone. Imagine, on a Tuesday morning, the aroma of coffee fills the fellowship hall. It’s English Coffee Hour at the University Avenue Baptist Church, where people gather to practice conversational English. Later in the week, the sounds of children’s laughter echo from the Koon Mission Building. This is where the Mom & Me Preschool Class meets, creating a nurturing environment for parents and their little ones. Every Friday, the Kokua Closet opens its doors, a partnership between the University Avenue Baptist Church and Harvest Family Life Hawaii. This invaluable resource provides essential items for children in foster care and other vulnerable families. For the kupuna, the JOY Group gathers twice a month, offering a space for connection and companionship. The first Thursday is for games and snacks, while the third Thursday features a shared meal, fostering a sense of belonging. The University Avenue Baptist Church also offers support for caregivers of children with special needs. This support group meets monthly, providing childcare so caregivers can connect and share their experiences. Led by Pastor Shane Tanigawa, the University Avenue Baptist Church offers Sunday services at 9:15 AM, complete with children’s ministry. Even if you can’t make it in person, you can join the livestream on YouTube. The University Avenue Baptist Church is more than just a church. It is a place of connection, support, and growth for all generations.
