The Anderson family story — preserving memories, stories, faith, traditions, and the people who shaped us.
Dr. Peter W. Anderson ministered in Hawaii for about 37 years. After graduating in 1970 from King University in Bristol, Tennessee, he served with the United States Army. Later he received a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of North Carolina and served as a missionary to Mexico. In 1977, upon graduation from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Pastor Anderson and his wife, Martha, moved to Hawaii. Pastor Anderson is the founding pastor of Trinity Church Windward in Kailua, and with his wife, helped to found Trinity Christian School. In 1990, he received his doctorate from the International Graduate School of Theology where he later taught Church Planting and Counseling. In 1991, Pastor Anderson started holding services in Central Oahu, and in 1995 was installed as pastor of Trinity Church Central Oahu. Pastor Anderson’s passion is planting churches to reach the unchurched with the transforming message of the Gospel of Christ. Pastor Anderson also has a real love for the people of Central Africa, and in the last 24 years has traveled there annually to help in the planting and growth of new churches. This ministry continues to expand with the establishment of numerous churches, three radio stations, and two clinics. In 2014, he helped start Trinity Biblical Institute, a program of theological studies for church leaders, with seven branches in Central Africa. Pastor Anderson and Martha have two grown daughters, Katie and Carrie, and five grandchildren.
