Kalua'aha Church

Molokai's First Church


Family Time Off The Beaten Path

Address:
Hwy 450
(around Mile Marker 14)
Kaunakakai, HI 96748

Description

Contrary to popular belief, there was a Christian presence on Moloka'i prior to the arrival of Father Damien. The first emissaries of the Christian religion were Protestant missionaries; they built this church (the first in Moloka'i) and established a settlement here in 1832. The church still stands, though it isn't much to look at. Originally a squat, sensible building with thick walls and tiny windows, it is only a ruin today.
