Celebrating 40 Years of Unity in Kona
Join us each Sunday as we celebrate four decades of a spiritual community rooted in meaningful connection and shared growth.
September 2026 Theme:
Beyond the Life You Know: Discovering and Demonstrating Your Greatness
Greatness is the Divine potential within every person. God seeks fuller expression through you. This month, you are invited to answer the call to something greater. Through vision, faith, and inspired action, you can uncover and demonstrate the greatness already within you.
Affirmation:
God’s greatness lives within me. I courageously express my Divine potential.
THIS SUNDAY - 9/27/26
Greatness is something you live. This lesson explores how small, courageous choices transform spiritual insight into meaningful change and bring your Divine potential into full expression.
Guest Speaker: Reverand Sophia Falke

E Komo Mai
Aloha is the breath of life and the presence of the Divine in every soul. At Unity of Kona, we strive to live in Pono, a state of harmony that honors our connection to the land and each other. Guided by universal spiritual laws, we cultivate a lived practice that transforms daily life into a sacred expression of inherent goodness.
Community Spotlight
Diana Fischer
Team Member of the Month - SEPTEMBER
A heartfelt mahalo to Diana for her many years of service to Unity of Kona as Board Trustee and volunteer Office Administrator.
Diana has given steadily and quietly to the life of this church, holding its records with care, its details with accuracy, and its history with a profound respect.
Having recently stepped off the Board, Diana still tends the records that keep Unity of Kona organized, informed, and grounded in its own story. That kind of continuity is a gift, and it is one the whole congregation rests upon.
Mahalo, Diana, for all you do.
Cultivating Connection & Lived Aloha
Vibrant Happenings
Thoughts create experience
I am a divine expression of Aloha. I call upon the wisdom of my heart and the 12 Powers within to guide my steps in Pono. Through affirmative prayer, I align with Lōkahi, knowing that the light of God is everywhere, and my lived practice transforms the world into a sanctuary of peace and inherent goodness.
Aloha
Aloha is the presence of God within and around us. We recognize divine love in every person, every moment, and every breath.
Ohana
We are one spiritual family. We honor the sacred worth of every person and nurture a community of belonging, compassion, and support.
Mana
Our thoughts help shape our experience of life. Through prayer, intention, and positive awareness, we awaken the creative power already within us.
Kuleana
Spiritual growth calls us into loving action. We express our faith through service, stewardship, and care for one another and our community.
Malu
Peace begins within. Through prayer, meditation, and spiritual practice, we cultivate calm, clarity, and trust in life's unfolding.
Kuleana & Mālama
Sacred stewardship is the spirit of Unity of Kona. We welcome you to help nurture our spiritual ‘ohana and sustain the light we are called to share.
