PUKAʻANA CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH is congregational in its adopted polity. This means that the local church acknowledges Jesus Christ as its Head, and vests all decision-making authority in its members.

​

Currently, after the retirement of our Senior Pastor, that office has been vacant. We believe, however, that all leaders are called to be pastoral and ministerial in nature - and, as such, our leaders - with the support of ministers at various settings of the UCC and within our community, work together to fulfill the roles that a settled Pastor might to the best of our ability.
