Do you want to know God better and become who He’s created you to be?
Here are some places to start:
~ Aloha Groups: This is how we “DO LIFE TOGETHER.” Aloha Groups are the friends and ‘ohana (family) you laugh, grow, and serve with. Each Aloha Group at WCC is different, yet all are focused on growing better together! Let us help you find an Aloha Group that’s right for you. For more info about Aloha Groups, contact Annette at WaikoloaCC@gmail.com.

~ Explore Your Purpose: Each of us has a unique purpose that is solely ours to fulfill. Uncover yours by participating in one of our Exploration Seminars.
* FOR YOUR FAMILY
We believe strong families start with a solid foundation. We endeavor to partner with parents to raise the next generation of fully devoted followers of Christ.
~ Aloha Riders Kids Ministry: Your kids are invited to join an experience designed just for them! Kids Church occurs, at the same time as our Adult Worship Experience in our Multi-Purpose Building.
Our Dolphin, Whale, and Surf Riders meet in our Surf/Whale Riders Room in our Multi-Purpose Building each Sunday for our one-room Kids Church for ages 4 through 5th grade.
Our Honu Riders Nursery is for toddlers, 2s, and 3s. The Honu Riders Room is located in our Multi-Purpose Building. The Little Honu Riders Room in the Worship Center is for parents who wish to see and hear the service while caring for a young child.
~ Point Break Student Ministry: We would LOVE to offer a quality youth program for 6th-12th graders as well! We need some initial volunteers to help make that happen and some interested youth to participate. Let us know of any interest and we’ll make it happen as soon as possible.

* MESSAGE NOTES ~ June 14, 2026
JUST JESUS: A Journey Through Mark ~ Part 55
Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them. ~ Mark 14:10 (NASB 1995)
… “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?” Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.” ~ John 6:70b-71 (NASB 1995)
PARADIDOMI – GREEK ~ to hand over, to deliver, to betray
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. ~ 1 Timothy 6:10 (NASB 1995)
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? ~ Mark 8:36 (NASB 1995)
Physical proximity to Jesus is not the same thing as genuine devotion to Jesus!
It is possible to be close enough to Jesus to hear His voice and still let your heart drift far from Him!
They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time. ~ Mark 14:11 (NASB 1995)
ECHARESAN – GREEK ~ rejoiced, were delighted, were glad
EZETEI – GREEK ~ seeking
EUKAIROS – GREEK ~ a favorable time, a convenient time, a strategic moment
Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. ~ Luke 22:1 (NASB 1995)
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?” ~ Mark 14:12 (NASB 1995)
And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there. The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.~ Mark 14:13-16 (NASB 1995)
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-11, 12b (NASB 1995)
When it was evening He came with the twelve. As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.” They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?” ~ Mark 14:17-19 (NASB 1995)
Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me. ~ Psalm 41:9 (NASB 1995)
METI EGO – GREEK ~ Surely not I?
And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.” ~ Mark 14:20 (NASB 1995)
The believer who thinks he is incapable of falling is already in danger.
For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!… ~ Mark 14:21a (NASB 1995)
…It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” ~ Mark 14:21b (NASB 1995)
Having a front-row seat to Jesus is not the same thing as being His fully devoted follower. Knowing Him is not the same thing as surrendering to Him.
