  My purpose was to create a church that embodied the Cheers theme: "I wanna go where everyone knows your name and are always glad you came." One of the first things I did with the help of Robert Young was to rearrange the pews into a U-shape so that you could see faces and not just back of heads. I moved the pulpit from the chancel onto the floor: I was preaching also to myself, I'm flawed also. Introduced guitars, quartets etc. For special music, sang from the F.E.L. Songbook in addition to the UCC Pilgrim Hymnal, gospel folk, and multimedia (2-4 Kodak carousel projectors w. Dissolver. People, including ministers, came from all over to see what was going on!

  I give thanks to God for the nurture I received growing up in Kaimuki Evangelical Church, UCC. We were a loving, neighborhood church. Some of my fondest memories are of our Summer Fun program which reminded every child that in God's eyes "Everyone is Special" as well as our active youth group involvement with other UCC youth groups in the "Fish Market" Friday evening youth events and camps, hosted by various Oahu UCC churches: Kaimuki Evangelical UCC, Kalihi Union (UCC at the time), Makiki Christian UCC, Manoa Valley UCC, Nu'uanu Congregational UCC, Kailua Christian UCC, United Church of Christ (Judd St.). I almost feel like I grew up in ALL of these churches.

  This neighborhood church no longer exists but in its hey-day (1967-1985) worship services were full to overflowing. I served as its senior minister in those years. This church produced 5 ordained ministers all currently active: Warren Nakano, Wade Mansfield, Mitchell Young, Sharon Inake, and Dale Vallejo-Sanderson. The church had its beginning as the Kaimuki Bible Training School founded by the Rev. Dr. Chet Terpstra, and it became the Kaimuki Evangelical Church under the Rev. Robert C. Loveless. When I became pastor, I rearranged the pews into U-shape, introduced guitars and contemporary worship music.
