First Baptist Church of Wahiawa is blessed to be celebrating its 90th Anniversary this year. Known as the first established Southern Baptist congregation in Hawaii, the FBC of Wahiawa has given birth to many congregations within the state of Hawaii and around the world. First Baptist Church of Wahiawa is committed to missions by providing and sending people to where the gospel needs to be preached, and where equipping pastors and leaders is a priority. Our vision is to see many people come to Christ and be discipled to their best spiritual potential. For these reasons and more, FBC of Wahiawa is pleased to welcome our 20th pastor, the Reverend Michael “Bong” Abagon.
