Vision:
All Episcopalians in Hawai`i shall work together to create a Church filled with visible and spirit-driven Christians - Christians who are eager to share our Episcopal tradition and faith, and traditional Hawaiian spiritual values, with those who have not yet found a spiritual anchor in their lives.
Goals:
1) Convert our Hearts to Accept Jesus' Gospel Message and to Live in a Deep Relationship with God.
2) Transform the Episcopal Church in Hawai`i and Congregations to Vital and Vibrant Faith Communities.
3) Evangelize to Share God's Love in Our Communities.
4) Reduce the structure and administration costs of the Diocese so that its operations, including its bodies, are directed to supporting transformation and growth.
The Five Marks of Mission of the Worldwide Anglican Communion:
1) To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
2) To teach, baptize and nurture new believers
3) To respond to human need by loving service
4) To seek to transform unjust structures of society
5) To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

Continuing Education report form
The Continuing Education annual report for clergy and lay professionals is due each year by February 15. Attached below is the form. Return it by mail to the Office of the Bishop, Attn: Continuing Education Commission, or email it to Canon Liz Beasley.
Continuing education in the Diocese of Hawai'i is measured in "contact hours," not in continuing education units (CEUs). The 24 hours do not have to be divided up between the three main headings listed on the sheet. They may instead be concentrated in one area, such as in the case of advanced degree programs.
