In the 1960s a [[Greek]] community established a seperate Greek Orthodox parish under the auspices of the [[Greek_Orthodox_Archdiocese_of_America|Greek Archdiocese]]. This community became known as the Saints [[Constatine and Helen]] [[Church of Constantinople|Greek Orthodox Church]]. Also in the 1960s, a group of Russian Orthodox faithful joined the Russian Orthodox Church of in Hawaii and formed the St. [[Mark of Ephesus]] Russian Orthodox Community. This community was later re[[consecratedconsecrate]] d under the heavenly protection of the [[Mother of God]], and is now know known as the Holy [[Theotokos]] of [[Iveron]] Russian Orthodox Church. In the early 1990's, a Serbian community established an Orthodox mission dedicated to Saint [[Lazar of Serbia|Lazar of Kosovo]]. The Serbian mission later went inactive and joined the local Greek and Russian Orthodox churches. In early 2004 a new Orthodox community under the jurisdiction of the [[OCA]] was established in Kona, Hawaii. This new mission has no association with the [[Church of Russia|Russian Orthodox]] mission established by Archimandrite Innokenty Dronov of Hilo (+1940's).
