The Mokuaikaua Church is the site of the first Christian church in Hawaii that was established in 1820. The present structure, of lava rock and mortar made from coral, was dedicated in 1837. The serene interior is constructed with native Hawaiian woods such as the ohia and rare koa. The steeple is a familiar landmark in picturesque Kailua Village. Inside the church is a model of Thaddeus, the ship that brought the first missionaries to Hawaii. If you want to learn about the Christian religion in Hawaii, then this is the perfect place to visit and take photos. You will be able to see the Mokuaikaua Church when you walk down Alii Drive because its white coral walls are outstanding.
