"Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding."

Jeremiah 3:15

Pastoral Team Serving Grace Chapel of Honolulu

Jeremiah Gruenberg

Pastor Jeremiah Gruenberg

Jeremiah Gruenberg was born in Hawaii in 1977, when his parents were pastors of Grace Chapel of Honolulu. He spent ten years in the Los Angeles area, ending in 1999, when he graduated from UCLA with a degree in English. He then returned to Hawaii to work as a writer and editor.

Over the next few years, the people of Grace Chapel of Honolulu became like a second family to Gruenberg. Although he had a love for the Lord since his early childhood, it was not until returning to Hawaii that he began to truly realize the calling on his life. His love for his fellow church members made it easy for him to take on responsibilities at Grace Chapel. Beginning by leading the Sunday morning worship once a month, he has grown into his current ministry as pastor under the mentoring of Gary and Marilyn Hargrave. He was ordained in April of 2006.

Since the end of 2004, Jeremiah Gruenberg has been the editor of publications for The Living Word Fellowship, working remotely from Honolulu.
Rob and Tammy Rich

Pastors Rob and Tammy Rich

Both Rob and Tammy have been members of The Living Word Fellowship since birth. Rob’s grandfather Walter was very involved in supporting the ministry of John Robert Stevens, the founder of The Living Word Fellowship. Rob’s father, Steve, has been an elder in the fellowship since 1976, and has been ordained as a pastor at Shiloh since 1987. Tammy’s parents have been an active part of the Fellowship since their teenage years.

When Rob graduated from high school, he found a mentor in David Boney, the former pastor of Grace Chapel of Honolulu. It was due to this close relationship that Rob moved to Hawaii, working first on the construction of the Hale O Kaula facility, and then moving permanently to O’ahu. Rob Rich has been involved in the leadership of Grace Chapel since 2000. For many years, he did this while running his own business, B.W. Builders. He became a full-time pastor in 2009.

Tammy moved to Kalona, Iowa in 2004, to pursue both a nutritional internship and spiritual mentorship under Phyllis Haworth, a pastor of the Shiloh church. She lived there for three years, and then moved to Hawaii to marry her longtime sweetheart. Tammy is currently going to nursing school at the University of Hawaii and is actively involved in the ministry with Rob. Rob and Tammy were married in 2007.
