'''The Greek Church in Hawaii'''
In the 1960s a [[Greek]] community established a separate Greek Orthodox parish under the auspices of the [[Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America|Greek Archdiocese]]. This community became known as the Saints [[Constantine the Great|Constantine]] and [[Helen]] [[Church of Constantinople|Greek Orthodox Church]]. The current (and temporary) pastor of the Greek Orthodox community in Hawaii is Fr. Demetrius Dogias, he was assigned to the Greek church in Honolulu in 2007.
'''The Russian Church in Hawaii'''
Also in the 1960s, a group of Russian Orthodox faithful joined the Russian Orthodox Church in of Hawaii and formed the St. [[Mark of Ephesus]] Russian Orthodox Community. This community was later re-[[consecrate]]d under the heavenly protection of the [[Mother of God]] and is now known as the Holy [[Theotokos]] of [[Iveron]] Russian Orthodox Church. In the late 1990s, the current pastor of the [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] community, Father Anatole Lyovin, (one of the few [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] priests since Archimandrite Innokenty) was [[ordination|ordained]] to serve the Orthodox faithful in Hawaii. Currently there are plans to build the first [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] [[church]] in Honolulu.
'''The Serbian Church in Hawaii'''
In the early 1990s, a Serbian community established an Orthodox mission dedicated to Saint [[Lazar of Serbia|Lazar of Kosovo]]. The Serbian mission later became inactive, and its remaining members joined the local Russian and Greek Orthodox churches. There has been a recent interest within the Serbian Orthodox community in Hawaii to re-establish this mission. In recent months, visiting clergy (including the Serbian bishop Maxim) have come from the mainland to minister to them.
'''The Antiochian Church in Hawaii'''
In 2000, the short-lived St. Paul the Apostle Antiochian Orthodox Mission was established in Honolulu at Fort Shafter Army Base. The rector of this mission was Fr. Isaiah Gillette, a chaplain with the military. When Fr. Isaiah was transferred to Texas, this mission was disbanded.
'''The OCA in Hawaii'''
In early 2004 a new Orthodox community under the jurisdiction of the [[OCA]] was established in Kona, Hawaii. They are overseen by visiting clergy from the mainland. This new mission has no association with the [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] mission established by Archimandrite Innokenty Dronov of Hilo (+1940s).
