Our Ohana "Family"
Senior Pastor
Rev. Stan & Amy Miyamoto
Aloha! I'm Stan Miyamoto. My wife Amy and I have been married since 1981 and have three
grown children ‐ Rachel, Micah, and Ruth ‐ and one granddaughter, Cheyenne. Like many locals growing up in Hawaii, I enjoy food, music, and the beach! In 1976, I graduated from Pearl City High School, and later the University of Hawaii with a BA in Communications.
It was at UH that I met Jesus Christ, through the ministry of The Navigators, saved me from my life of sin, for which I am eternally grateful. In my walk with Christ I've enjoyed sharing my faith, discipling others, leading Bible Studies/Sunday School, leading worship, mentoring leaders, and caring for the needy. In 1997 I left the financial services business and followed the Lord's call to serve vocationally as an Assistant Pastor at our sister church, the Honolulu Christian Church.
Since 2007 I have been blessed to serve as Pastor of West Oahu Christian Church. I am blessed to have recently obtained my Master of Christian Ministry degree from Wayland Baptist University. As we strive to Love God and Love One Another may Jesus Christ build His church at WOCC, and together may we be a blessing from Waipahu to the World!
Assistant Pastor
Jason & Alli Oshiro
Aloha! My name is Jason Oshiro, and I am excited to be serving as Assistant Pastor at West Oahu Christian Church (WOCC). I would like to take a moment to share a little about myself and my journey.
I am a proud husband to my wife Alli, and together we have two energetic boys, Skyler and Noah. Despite being born and raised in Hawaii, I must confess that I'm not much of a beach person - I know, it's hard to believe! I am a graduate of Roosevelt High School, class of '99, and received my degree in Bible and Pastoral Ministry from Pacific Rim Christian University (PRCU).
My faith journey started as a newborn at Honolulu Christian Church (HCC). It is where I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, was baptized, and had the amazing privilege of serving in numerous roles:leading junior and senior high ministries, college and young adult ministries, teaching Sunday school, providing advisory, and even preaching from the pulpit from when I was a young teen (19). I also had the honor of serving as a deacon.
I've had the blessing and privilege of serving as the English Minister at Chinese Lutheran Church of Honolulu (Converge Hawaii) for 10 years (07.2014-06.2024). Bringing us to the here and now, I am truly humbled and so grateful to be back in OMS serving alongside, and being mentored by Pastor Stan at WOCC.
I look forward to growing with you as we continue to build God's church here at WOCC. Let's be a blessing together, from Waipahu to the World!
