MPBC MISSION STATEMENT

Maui Philippine Baptist Church seeks to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by being a disciple-making community that helps those who are spiritually hungry to experience and proclaim the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

Through our ministries, we strive to actively seek opportunities that reflect and demonstrate this mission.

MPBC is located on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Because of its geographical location, we constantly experience the wind as it blows across the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, we aim to fulfill our mission statement by the following acrostic, W-I-N-D.

W - Worship

Provide a venue and an avenue for worship and prayer

I - Interrelations

Cultivate Biblical fellowship as it is demonstrated in the New Testament.

N - Nurture

Make disciples of Jesus Christ in obedience to the Great Commission

D - Deployment

Reach out to people in loving service.

We recognize that all of these should be done under the guidance and lordship of the Holy Spirit.

Why W-I-N-D?

WIND is inspired by the naturally windy conditions on the island of Maui.
The Holy Spirit is depicted as a mighty rushing wind in the Book of Acts, chapter 2.

MPBC STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Bible:

We believe the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired and infallible Word of God,
​and the complete and final authority for faith and practice.

God:

We believe in one God, who is the Creator of all. He has revealed Himself in three distinct Persons-- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
​yet is one in being, essence, and glory.

Jesus Christ:

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God. He is God in human form, the exact representation of the Father.

We believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh and that He is truly fully God and truly fully man. He lived a perfect and sinless life.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for all humanity.
We believe that the forgiveness of sin is founded in the shedding of His blood and is attested by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven in His glorified body and is now seated at the right hand of God
​as our High Priest ​and Advocate.

The Holy Spirit:

We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit indwells those who believe and is sovereign in the distribution of spiritual gifts.

Salvation:

We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
