Kailua Baptist

Todd Morikawa

Todd was born in Honolulu, raised in Aiea and later, in Hilo on the Big Island. He was raised in a Christian home but did not really understand the gospel until he was 15 years old. At that age, God changed his heart through the preaching of the Gospel at a youth camp. For the first time, Todd understood the substitutionary nature of Jesus' death, that Jesus really took his place on the cross. After that, God gave Todd new desires including reading the Bible, praying and fellowship with other believers. Eventually, God gave Todd the desire to pursue ministry and granted him the opportunity in 2005. Todd has a BA in Communication (UH-Hilo 2004) and an M.Div. in Biblical and Theological Studies (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2008). Todd is a full time pastor at KBC. Todd lives with his wife in Kailua and is the father of one daughter. Todd's responsibilities at KBC include Ministry of the Word and Prayer.
