Elwin Ahu is the Sr. Pastor of Metro Christian Church located in the heart of Honolulu, Hawaii. In 1995, while serving as a Circuit Judge for the State of Hawaii, Elwin made his most important decision when he accepted Jesus Christ into his heart. It was a defining moment that led him to step down from his promising judicial career in order to step up to answer God’s call into full-time ministry.

Elwin and his wife Joy planted Metro Christian Church in 2012. However, in Metro’s inaugural year, Elwin was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and underwent intense hospitalization and treatment. By God’s miraculous power Elwin was healed from this disease. Having experienced the saving grace of Jesus Christ, Elwin has a passion to teach, inspire, and equip others to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. He captured his amazing journey in his recently released book, “Resilient Hope: Encountering the Unexpected,” which can be found on Amazon.com and Kindle.

Elwin is also the Director of Metro Christian Academy, a Christian pre-school which he began in 2014 dedicated to give every child a chance to grow spiritually and develop a passion to be a life-long learner. Currently, Elwin is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel and Chairs the Hawaii Pastors Roundtable.

Elwin and Joy cherish their time as grandparents to Alana (2) and Hokua (3 mos), children of Brandon (son) and Kara. They also love living life with their teenage son, Jared, who finds fun in every moment of life.
