Mission: Kona Coast
MISSION
Mission: Kona Coast is an ambitious mission to witness to the holistic transformation that comes in knowing and abiding in Christ. KCN believes that there are no limits to the breadth or depth of influence the Good News will have on the Big Island of Hawaii should we faithfully pursue the call God has given us.
Reach the lost, Disciple the found, Model the Kingdom
Kona Church of the Nazarene is committed to REACHING THE LOST. In the heart of God, and in the spirit of the Great Commission, offering the Good News to the lost and downcast is fundamental to everything that KCN does.
Discipleship is the life to which Jesus called his followers and the end to which he sent them before he left. KCN is committed to DISCIPLING THE FOUND, the process of learning about and growing in obedience to the will of God.
The Kingdom of God is at hand and has characteristics that contrast the world. As Christ’s Body, KCN is committed to MODELING THE KINGDOM by demonstrating these kingdom characteristics and preparing leaders to do the same.
VISION
In 10 years, KCN will be a unified, missional presence on the Kona Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, from Ocean View to North Kohala.
Kona Coast Church of the Nazarene has prayerfully discerned a big vision. In 10 years, KCN will be a unified, missional* presence on the Kona Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, from Ocean View to North Kohala. Ministry in each mission zone will be led by missionary-pastors participating on a mutually supportive KCN team with a shared mission of reaching the lost, discipling the found, and modeling the kingdom. In each mission zone, emphasis will be put on training kingdom-focused disciples to multiply more disciples. By 2022, KCN will launch the Mana Institute to provide a formal means to equip faithful local leaders for ministry and/or industry. The Institute will merge discipleship mentoring with ministry credentialing, trade experience, or entrepreneurial tutoring, while maintaining an emphasis on local community development measures. KCN will experience a ten-fold growth in attendance, discipleship, and impact over this time, making eternal spiritual investments in thousands of people and measurable changes in the quality of life for the whole Kona Coast.
MOTTO
Revival in this Land
Throughout the whole Bible, God pursues people to revive and heal covenantal relationship. There is no part of life outside the scope of God’s love and redemption. God is a God of revival! From our perspective, revival always begins with a burden for sin and humility to accept grace. While revival is the desire of God, it is also the responsibility of God’s people.
