Ikaika And Stacey Higa

Ikaika was raised on Maui while his wife, Stacey grew up in Indiana. They met at Gateway Seminary when it was in San Francisco; and both shared a desire to tell others about Jesus in ways that speak to their hearts. Ikaika and Stacey are not perfect people but they serve a perfect God who loves each of us. 

 Our Vision

We meet people where they are at and engage them with the truth of the gospel. A Christian is a dedicated, passionate haumana (disciple) of Jesus. Hāmama is a puʻuhonua (safe place) to express worship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in cultural and ethnic ways. We engage the community by perpetuating native Hawaiian culture and language, thereby reflecting the indigenous culture of Koʻolaupoko. We joyfully serve our community for the good of where God has placed us. As Hāmama grows, we will plant other churches in the surrounding Ahupuaʻa of Oʻahu and neighboring islands as well as going to other nations.

Our Heart

Hāmama is the name of one of the waterfalls connected to the Waiheʻe stream that brings fresh waiola (living water) into our community of Koʻolaupoko. Hāmama translates to “open” or “to open up,” an appropriate name for a water source coming from the Koʻolau Mountains. We, at Hāmama Community Church, open our lives to the refreshing Living Water of Christ and desire to share His aloha with everyone. We seek your support in making Hāmama a reality. May the heavens “open up” and pour grace and favor upon this ministry, in Jesus’ name. This is our prayer.
