Founded in 1832 and built in 1855, this rural church sits on a tranquil oceanside site in the town of Makena. The walls of this Protestant church are 3-feet thick and made of lava using coral as mortar. The Hawaiians planted ti plants around the church, which according to custom, provides protection from evil.

The church sits on a beautiful, sandy cove and overlooks the ocean. In the small cemetary on the grounds are numerous, old headstones. Many of the headstones have ceramic photographic portraits of the deceased.
