Pastor Wayne

Dr. Wayne Cordeiro pioneered New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu in 1995.. Within 10 years, it was listed among the ten most innovative churches in America. Outreach Magazine listed them as one of the “top five churches to learn from.” New Hope has seen over 120,000 first-time decisions in Hawaii since its inception and has planted 153 churches on the West Coast and in Okinawa, Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Myanmar, and Australia. In 2017, he passed the leadership baton in Hawaii and relocated to Eugene, Oregon to be president of New Hope Christian College where he pioneered New Hope West which partners with New Hope Christian College. It has become a “lab church” for ministry and leadership development. Wayne and his wife, Anna, are approaching 50 years of marriage. They have three married children and nine grandchildren.
