Mokuaikaua Church, Religious monument in Kailua-Kona, US
Mokuaikaua Church stands as a large stone structure with a tall white steeple, constructed from local lava rock and coral materials from the Hawaiian coast.
Built in 1837 after several wooden predecessors burned down, this church marks the first Christian house of worship established in the Hawaiian Islands.
The interior features traditional Koa wood decorations and contains numerous artifacts, including a scale model of the missionary ship Thaddeus.
The church welcomes visitors daily for tours and worship services, with wheelchair accessibility and educational displays about Hawaiian missionary history.
The building materials include stones from an ancient Hawaiian temple, connecting traditional island spirituality with nineteenth-century Christian architecture.
