History
In 1864, Christian missionaries from New England did reach Kipahulu, traveling by land from Lahaina. On a point of the shore overlooking the crashing Pacific, they built a church out of limestone coral and lava rock in the simple, elegant style of the country churches and meeting houses they knew at home.

Latest Project
Maintenance never ceases to keep the church safe from the elements on the Maui coast. The lava rock wall of the vestibule built in the 1960s to hold the stained glass window of Jesus has developed a small leak. Both the wall and the window will need a complete restoration.
