New Hope Central Oahu

What New Hope Central Oahu does

New Hope Central Oahu (NHCO) is a nonprofit Christian church founded in 1999, headquartered in Wahiawa, Hawaii, and operating its primary worship services at Hanalani Schools in Mililani, Central Oahu. The church holds two Sunday services (8am and 10am) and runs an extended ministry portfolio including Ohana Groups (small groups), Transformation Academy discipleship classes, youth and family ministries, pastoral care, devotional resources (Bible in a Year, 40 Days of Fasting), and periodic sermon series such as "Discovering Your Place." Its congregation is primarily residents of Mililani and Central Oahu, with secondary engagement from remote worshippers accessing services globally.

The organization is led by Lead Pastor Mark Palompo (appointed 2023), alongside six additional pastors (Mike Palompo, Earl Morihara, Glenn Rosario, Theresa Rosario, Lori Shimabukuro, Rich Fewell) and a six-member Board of community leaders (Les Lichtenberg, Dr. Brian Misaka, David Alvarico, Kai Kawasugi, Marc Cabatbat, William Lu). Founder Mike Palompo continues in a pastoral role. Governance follows an Elders and Board structure typical of independent evangelical churches.

NHCO's operating technology stack consists of consumer-grade and SaaS tools rather than proprietary platforms: YouTube and Facebook for live streaming and sermon archiving, PushPay for recurring digital tithes and offerings, CCB Church for member management and connection cards, Square for an online merchandise storefront, and Flickr for photo sharing. The revenue model is voluntary donations (tithes and offerings) from individual congregation members, supplemented by merchandise sales; no pricing exists for services, and no revenue is publicly disclosed. The organization has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity — consistent with its structure as an independent religious nonprofit.

Broad incumbents

• Saddleback Church: Large multi-site evangelical network with mature digital streaming, small-group, and online giving infrastructure. While far larger than NHCO, it represents the scaled version of the same operating playbook NHCO is executing.
• Elevation Church: High-profile multi-site church widely recognized for online streaming excellence, digital giving, and small-group programs. Functions as a strategic north-star peer for what a digitally-scaled small-church model can become.

Regional players

• Kailua Christian Church: Independent Christian congregation in Hawaii serving a similar middle-class suburban community. Comparable scale and ministry programming make it a useful peer for measuring local congregational dynamics and competitive overlap on Oahu.
• Calvary Chapel Oahu: Network-affiliated evangelical church on Oahu offering in-person services and online streaming. Comparable in faith tradition and ministry approach, operating in the same island geography with overlapping audience.
• Hawaii Kai Church: Independent Hawaii-based church with in-person and online ministry, similar small-to-mid scale, and multi-generational programming. Useful for benchmarking small-church engagement and giving models within the same regional market.

Others

• Church Community Builder (CCB): Church management software vendor used by NHCO for member management and connection cards. Listed as a technology enabler peer relevant to operational infrastructure rather than a direct ministry competitor.
• Pushpay Holdings (now Resi): NHCO's digital giving platform vendor and a leading SaaS provider to mid-market churches. Included as an ecosystem/technology peer relevant to NHCO's revenue infrastructure rather than as a ministry competitor.

Direct peers

• Hope Chapel Hawaii: Multi-site evangelical church network headquartered in Hawaii with comparable size, digital streaming infrastructure, and small-group (ohana-style) ministry emphasis. Strong match on geography, faith tradition, and operating model.
• New Hope Oahu (New Hope Honolulu): Shares the 'New Hope' branding and is part of the same Hawaii-based church network family. Operates as a sister congregation in Honolulu with a comparable multi-channel worship model, making it the most directly comparable peer for benchmarking ministry reach and giving patterns.
