Fellowship Committee
The Fellowship Committee fosters a welcoming, inclusive church community by creating meaningful opportunities for connection, mutual support, and fellowship that embody Christ’s love for members and guests alike. Through hospitality, social events, and acts of care, the committee encourages active participation in congregational life and ensures everyone feels valued, welcomed, and supported. “Fellowship” goes beyond casual socializing; it represents a deep, active, and communal sharing of spiritual, social, and material life rooted in a shared faith in God and Christ.
Subgroups of the Fellowship Committee include Sunday Refreshments/Hospitality Team, the Care Cards Ministry, Prayer Shawl Hui, Visitor Connection Team, and Mondays at Manoli’s Pizza in Wailea.
If you are interested in serving on this committee or helping with any of its subgroups, contact the church office. For a list of current committee officers and members, please contact the church office at klc@kiheilutheran.org.
