Inspiring People to Fulfill Their God-Given Potential

From the inception of Inspire Church in 2001, formerly known as Hope Chapel West Oahu, God has continually provided for the church through bringing faithful members and incredible provision. What initially started out as 60 members in the cafeteria of Waikele Elementary School soon became thousands of members in a premier location in the heart of Honolulu, the Waikele Shopping Center. While this growth didn’t happen overnight, this eight-year faith-seed planted finally came to fruition by stewarding well the location and the members God provided. By 2013, Inspire Church reached a new height with one location in Metro Manila, Philippines, one location in Mililani and one location in downtown Honolulu. With incredible feats such as launching an accredited four-year degree program, Inspire Christian College, in 2018, launching InspireMe Preschool and the Inspire Collective, an initiate to help entrepreneurs and business professionals in their sphere of influence, in 2020 as well as beginning a new internship program, Inspire continues to look forward to the new and greater things God has planned.

God has extravagantly provided for Inspire Church time and time again, but with that faithful provision comes a great responsibility to reach those around us. Inspire Church’s vision has always been to inspire people to fulfill their God-given potential, and there are many ways we do this. From serving thousands of people annually through Inspire Outreach to blessing our surrounding schools with thousands of school supplies to serving our community by cleaning schools and parks and offering food relief, Inspire continues to be a light, transforming every community and every life one outreach at a time.

From humble beginnings in 2001 to a thriving multi-site congregation, Inspire Church is led by Pastors Mike and Lisa Kai. They are visionary leaders with hearts to advance the Kingdom of God by attracting non-believers to Christ, connecting them to their church family, training them for life and ministry and inspiring each person to fulfill their God-given potential. Mike and Lisa reside in Honolulu and are the proud parents of three daughters and two grandchildren. Mike has traveled to speak at conferences and to congregations all over the world and conducts pastor’s and leader’s round tables nationally and internationally. Mike is the author of The Pound for Pound Principle, Plateaus, That Doesn't Just Happen, and Lisa is the author of Perfectly You.

Our hearts overflow with gratitude for the many who have already given so much into our community and Church! Now, more than ever, we see the Church bringing hope to the discouraged, healing to the broken and a resiliency to those struggling in these uncertain times. Your endurance and perseverance has propelled the Church to not only be a pillar and fortress of strength in our community, but your sacrificial generosity has bridged that gap and has extended transformative opportunities to people in our own backyards and beyond.

We carry a deep sense of urgency to reach people, make disciples and multiply leaders, and we are so thankful that you would partner with us. You have refreshed those who are thirsty, given sustenance to those weak and released eternal treasures, bringing hope and redemption to the farthest corners of the world. And for this, we are so proud of you, Church!

This year, we are believing and prayerfully strategizing that God will continue to expand our territory through launching new locations, acquiring land and buildings and increasing our reach to those who need Jesus in Waikele, Mililani, Honolulu, Online and Manila. We want to thank you for faithfully sowing into the vision, and we covet your prayers above all else in a time where unity is necessary to carry out our Great Commission. It is a joy and honor to pastor, what we believe, is a Church of excellence! Praying favor, peace, and abundance over you and your family.

With Aloha,

Mike & Lisa Kai Senior Pastors of Inspire Church
