Our Churches

OUR CHURCHES

The Episcopal Diocese of Hawai‘i consists of 37 worshipping communities on five islands. About half of these can be found on the island of O‘ahu, where Honolulu, the capital of Hawai‘i, is located. Other churches are distributed on the islands of Kaua‘i, Maui, Moloka‘i, and Hawai‘i Island (“the Big Island”).

The following is an alphabetical list of our chruches by island. If a church name is highlighted in blue, it is linked to their website. If a name is highlighted, it is linked to a form that will generate an email message to that person.

We include some general information about each island as well.

Hawai'i Island (The Big Island)

The Big Island is home to six Episcopal Churches around the island. Starting from the eastern part of the island in Hilo, there is the Church of the Holy Apostles. Going north is St. Columba's in Pa'auilo, St. Augustine’s in Kapa‘au, St. James' in Kamuela, Christ Church in Kealakekua, and in the south, St. Jude’s in Ocean View.

The island of Hawai‘i, the largest of all the Hawaiian Islands, is appropriately named “The Big Island”. With a landmass of 4,028 square miles and growing, it is larger than all of the other main islands combined, and is the largest island in the United States.

Making up part of the Big Island is Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world when measured from the sea floor, taller even than Mount Everest. Because of its unobstructed location, Mauna Kea hosts the world’s largest astronomical observatory with telescopes operated by astronomers from eleven countries! Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is located near the southeast portion of the island, helping the island continue to grow as molten lava makes its way to the ocean. With much of the island undeveloped, the population total is just 185,079. The Big Island’s symbolic color is fiery red, and the island flower, the ‘ohia lehua, can usually be found in the higher elevations of the island.

With such a large and mountainous landmass, the Big Island has the most diverse geographic characteristics. On a good winter day, there may be snow-capped mountains where only the most daring and adventurous visitors can partake in snowboarding or skiing, and later enjoy a dip in the ocean. From the dry deserts of Ka‘u and the stark black lava fields of Kona, the island offers breathtaking waterfalls and lush greenery in the areas around Hilo, and verdant green rolling hills in Waimea.

Kaua'i (The Garden Island)

There are five Episcopal Churches on Kaua‘i. In the town of Kapa‘a, All Saints' was the first Episcopal Church built in 1925, followed by Christ Memorial in Kilauea. Both buildings utilize the native lava rock stone in its structure and feature magnificent hand-crafted stained glass windows. On the western side of the island, St. John’s in ‘Ele‘ele and St. Paul’s in Kekaha were built in the early 1940s, and now make up The Episcopal Church on West Kaua‘i (ECWK). The newest and largest Episcopal Church on Kaua‘i is St. Michael and All Angels, located in Lihu‘e. It was dedicated in 1991, with an open and contemporary feel to its structure.

The oldest and fourth largest of the main Hawaiian Islands, Kaua‘i has been given the name “The Garden Island” for good reason. With Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, one of the wettest spots in the world feeding the countless streams, waterfalls and the only navigable rivers in Hawai'i, the landscape is adorned with lush vegetation and tropical rainforests. The symbolic island color is purple, and the island “flower” is actually the fragrant green mokihana berry, found only in the deep recesses of the valleys of Kaua‘i. The forests of Koke‘e and the Waimea Canyon are also home to many endangered birds and plants found only on Kaua‘i. With a population of 67,000, Kaua‘i’s rural lifestyle and dramatic vistas attract many visitors and those wishing to escape city life to enjoy the peace and calm of old Hawai‘i.

Maui (The Valley Isle)

There are four Episcopal Churches on Maui located in the main towns of the island that include the Church of the Good Shepherd in Wailuku, Holy Innocents in Lahaina, St. John’s Episcopal Church in Kula, and Trinity By-The-Sea in Kihei.

Maui is the second largest of the main Hawaiian Islands, with a population of over 144,000. Named “The Valley Isle” because of the many large valleys carved into its mountains and the large isthmus that was created between two (now dormant) volcanoes. One of these volcanoes, Haleakala, is more than 10,000 feet above sea level, making it one of the world’s highest mountains. Maui’s symbolic color is pink, and its flower is the lokelani or Pink Cottage Rose. Maui has become the leading whale-watching center in the islands. The magnificent Humpback whales spend the winter months mating and birthing in the channels of Maui before heading back to Alaska for their annual migration.

Moloka'i (The Friendly Isle)

Grace Episcopal Church is the only Episcopal church on the island and is located in Ho‘olehua.

Shaped like a shoe at only 38 miles long and 10 miles across, Moloka‘i is the fifth largest of the eight main islands of Hawai‘i, and is located just 25 miles southeast from the island of O‘ahu. Many of the 7,400 residents are of native Hawaiian ancestry, preserving their culture through their rural lifestyle and love of their land. Their warmth has earned the island the name “The Friendly Isle”. The symbolic island color is green, and the island flower is the kukui blossom. Although small in size, Moloka‘i features the world’s highest sea cliffs along its northern coast, isolating the town of Kalaupapa, the Hansen’s Disease settlement, located on a small, 13-square mile peninsula.

O'ahu (The Gathering Place)

There are 22 Episcopal Churches located on O‘ahu, including The Cathedral of Saint Andrew, the first Anglican Church founded in the mid-1800s by King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma. Nestled in the heart of downtown Honolulu, it is surrounded by historic buildings such as ‘Iolani Palace, and more contemporary landmarks such as the State Capital Building.

The third largest of the Hawaiian Islands, O‘ahu is home to nearly 70% of the entire population (1.3 million) of the State of Hawai‘i. It has been aptly named “The Gathering Place” with Honolulu, the state capital, located on the southeast coast of the island. The symbolic color of O‘ahu is yellow, and the flower is the ‘ilima. It takes hundreds of the tiny fragile blossoms to create a single lei strand, and is known as “the royal lei” since it was once only worn by Hawaiian high chiefs.

Although Honolulu is a bustling urban center, the island holds lush rain forests and picturesque beaches where Hollywood filmmakers have flocked to shoot numerous films and television shows.

The church communities on O‘ahu are as diverse as their neighborhoods. With the continuing influx of immigrants from around the Pacific Basin and beyond, several churches feature special services catering to different ethnic groups, such as Samoan, Micronesian, Filipino, Korean and Chinese. Whether in magnificent historical buildings or a school cafeteria, Episcopalians around the island come together to worship and to minister to their communities in the name of Jesus Christ.
