King's Cathedral and Chapels, sometimes referred to as King's, is a multi-site Pentecostal megachurch based in Kahului, Hawaii. King's, originally called First Assembly of God Maui, was established in 1980 by their current Global Senior Pastors, Dr. James Marocco and Pastor Colleen Marocco. The church is noted for their multiple services, early morning and late night prayer meetings, various forms of community outreach, unique praise and worship, theatrical productions, generational ministries, and life groups.
History
King's Cathedral and Chapels was established in May 1980 when Dr. James Marocco and Pastor Colleen Marocco became the new Senior Pastors of what was then First Assembly of God Maui. Prior to becoming the official Senior Pastor on the first Sunday of May, Dr. Marocco prophesied that the size of the congregation would double from 100 congregants (originally 80 adults/youth + 20 children) to 200 congregants. That night, Dr. Morocco had cried out to the Lord, thinking he might have made a mistake in coming. But he continued to have faith in the Lord, and on the first Sunday of May, the first Sunday with Dr. Marocco as the official pastor, the congregation doubled. Because of the massive growth King's experienced, they immediately began renovations. The Chapel on Kane Street could then accommodate 200 people, then 300 people, then over 500 people with the addition of a two-story educational facility (and the buildings are still there today on Kane Street).
In the next year (1980-1981), King’s Cathedral and Chapels was recognized by a national church growth organization as the fastest growing church in the United States. At the end of their first year, they had 700 active congregants. A month after their one year anniversary, they had 1,100 active congregants. They then purchased and began to hold services in what was then the Maui Skate Palace, the largest facility on the island of Maui, which was also then the home of Family Life Center, the social services arm of King’s Cathedral and Chape. After the watchnight service, the church walked from the original chapel on Kane Street in a candlelight procession to the new facility. Due to the financial situation of King's at the time, the church began to influence the areas of business and recreation, founding the Christmas Tree Lot and operating a racquetball club and spa, the only ones on the island at the time.
In 1983, Dr. Morocco was led by the Lord to Tommy Barnett’s Pastors’ School in Phoenix. Through that, God had revived the vision of the church. The bus ministry doubled and a soul-winning ministry began. Dr. Morocco also received a word that had changed King's forever. God had said: “Just as the mayor of Maui County is the mayor of three islands, I want you to pastor three islands.” Shortly after this revelation of God’s will for King's, they opened more extensions in Lahaina, Maui and Kaunakakai, Molokai. Their first cultural ministry, the Filipino Ministry, was also born with Filipino churches being founded as a result.
In January 1984, God had told Dr. Marocco to see if they could purchase a specific property which was 14 acres in size, on the corner of the most trafficked intersection of all of Maui: Kuihelani Highway and Maui Veterans Highway (what was then Mokulele Highway). We began attempts to purchase the property as it was a property Dr. Morocco believed could accommodate his vision of a church on Maui with 6,000 people. The construction of the facility on this property, the Cathedral, was finished in 1994 and is still the current hub of King's Cathedral and Chapels globally. In 1989, with the opening of King's Lanai, the word given to Dr. Marocco from 1983 was fulfilled. In 1992, the Marshallese Ministry was founded, which began a wave of Marshallese churches all across the United States, which now numbers over 62 extensions.
In 1995, the Cathedral held a series of revival meetings with Evangelist Rodney Howard Browne, which changed the entire nature of the church. What happened as a result was that King's began to have a global vision, establishing extensions in Kauai; Wasilla, Alaska; Seattle, Washington; California; Japan; and Tahiti among other locations. This was the first wave of global expansion. In 2000, First Assembly of God was renamed to King's Cathedral and Chapels to avoid confusion with a church named First Assembly of God on Oahu.
Starting in the year of 2007, the Lord led King's to begin to have a Vision, or a goal for our church. That year, Dr. Marocco announced the 12/12/12 Vision: 12 extensions in Hawaii, 12 extensions in the mainland United States plus Alaska, and extensions in 12 nations outside of the United States by 2010. This would later be fulfilled. In 2010, King's was in the 120/20 Vision: 120 extensions globally and having 20,000 congregants by 2015. This would later be fulfilled. In 2015, King's was in the 1/2/3 Vision: 100 extensions in the United States, 200 extensions internationally outside of the United States, and having 30,000 congregants by 2020. This would later be fulfilled. In 2020, the Vision of King's was Vision 500: 500 extensions globally by the end of May 2021. This would later be fulfilled. The current Vision of King's is the 12/120 Vision: 1,200 extensions and 120,000 congregants by 2025.
Currently, King's has extension campuses in 21 states: Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Florida. King's also has extension campuses in 18 nations outside of the United States: Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Spain, Italy, Gabon, Mozambique, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand, the Marshall Islands, Tonga, Fiji, and Tahiti.
