Billy Hopper - Elder & Pastor

Pastor Billy is a testament to God’s faithfulness across generations. Pastor Billy’s father, William Hopper Sr, was pastor at HBC and Billy grew up here. Billy then served as the leading pastor for 17 years from August 2008 to August 2025. He is currently the Upper School Principal of Hanalani Christian School in Mililani. He still regularly serves the church through preaching and faithful pastoral leadership.

Pastor Billy brings over 30 years of ministry experience and a deep passion for expository preaching. A graduate of Moody Bible Institute, he believes in shepherding the church with gospel clarity and faithful discipleship. When he isn’t at work at Hanalani or preparing his next sermon, you can find Pastor Billy serving in local prison ministry, surfing the North Shore waves, or spending time with his wife, Karyn, and their four children.
