Debi - The church was founded in 1832 as the Church of Honua‘ula. The land where it stands was purchased in 1864 for $80. It was first built of pili grass, and over the years evolved into the stone and wood building you see in my photo. Members living near the beach gathered coral for the making of the puna or cement, and those residing on the "forest side" brought down the lumber. The church has made a commitment to maintain Hawaiian tradition and culture, to incorporate the use of Hawaiian language, music, and dance and to honor the various traditions and cultures represented in its membership.
Thanks for stopping by! - Mike

Russel - We have a lot of micro-climates in Hawaii. We live less than 100 miles from one of the wettest places in the world, yet this little church is in an area where it hardly ever rains! Thanks for stopping by.
