The Hawaiian setting of Pilgrims´ Abbey is graced by the tropical beauty of a secluded oasis of nearly an acre set on the western slopes of Hualalai Mountain in beautiful Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The Contemplative gardens include a small brook and koi ponds with large shade trees over the whole up-country location. The Abbey is located at a very comfortable 940 foot elevation. The exceptional climate is usually between: 70 and 85 F. (21-32 C.) summer and winter with only 30 inches of rainfall per year. This is upcountry aloha plantation style living and yet is only 3 miles to the beaches and the Historical village of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Hawaii Island is the youngest of the Hawaiian Island volcanic chain of Islands. It has the worlds longest flowing volcano. The volcano is not dangerous due to the constant flow. It is constantly adding land to this large island. This unique island has 11 our of the 14 world climates. The Hawaiians have a saying that if you don't like the weather you only need to drive 30 minutes to find another one. Also there are many historical churches and landmarks located on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The vision is to develop a holy space (or sanctuary) for a New Testament Church to form and to grow like the Early Church in the Book of Acts. St. Luke stopped at chapter 28. We would like it to go on to write Acts 29. Nothing can ever duplicate the Book of Acts but it would be great joy to get a close as possible to the foundations of our faith in Christ Jesus as Lord. The mission will include a fresh return to the Holy Scriptures for the foundational basis of faith and practice.

Pilgrims´ Abbey is an exceptional space for prayer and meditation in lush, tropical garden surroundings... A place to study without disruption. A place to write a book with excellent support systems and an English library. Communication with the outside world will be kept to a minimum. The Abbey also provides a unique time of community worship and study as well as personal space for spiritual renewal. The Abbey community will gather for general sharing, praise and worship on Saturday evenings with an Agape Supper. An open Bible Study Fellowship meets on Sunday evenings and is open to the general public.

If you have a bit of energy or a need for a quit space and would like to come aside for a time to explore the Kingdom of our Lord. Or if you like building things and helping with Missions. This opportunity could give you a new start and much peace and joy in the Lord. Personal guidance from Ken, Sue or other qualified staff members will be available, most of the time, but only if requested.
