Welcome to the official website for the Holy Theotokos of Iveron Orthodox Church. We are a small thriving multi-ethnic Christian parish here in the Hawaiian Islands, striving to both live the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and spread the ancient Orthodox Christian Faith to the people of Hawaii. Stop by for a visit if you are new to the islands or wish to experience the oldest living Christian Tradition on earth. Services are primarily conducted in English, with Hawaiian, Old Church Slavonic, Romanian and Greek added in.
All are welcome!
After over a hundred years of much struggle and fervent prayer, the Russian Orthodox Church's Mission in Hawaii has a church to call her own. We would like to humbly thank everyone for helping us to make this once far-fetched dream a reality. May the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercessions of the Most holy Theotokos be with all of you.
If you would like to become a STEWARD of our parish, please consider filling out a PLEDGE CARD and mailing it to our church's new address (provided below). We have a large mortgage and many new expenses, not to mention the struggles of the after-effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, of which we suffered greatly, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
May it be returned to you a hundred fold!
