Plaque on the wall of the Wai'oli Mission Hall in Hanalei, Kaua'i

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photo of a plaque on the wall of the Wai'oli Mission Hall in Hanalei, Kaua'i. The plaque reads:

Waioli Mission Hall

 The Waioli Mission was established by American Christian

missionaries in 1834. A pole and thatch meetinghouse was constructed by Hawaiians on this site, in anticipation of the arrival of the missionaries. The first meetinghouse was destroyed by fire, and a second was destroyed by wind. Following the destruction of the two earlier buildings, the congregation completed this timber frame building in 1841. It is the oldest surviving church building on the island of Kauai.

 The building design, distinguished by its lanais and steep

double pitched roof, is a notable example of the adaptation of New England building traditions to Hawaiian culture and climate. This building served as the Mission church until the adjacent 1912 Waioli Church sanctuary was constructed to accomodate the growing congregation. The building has been restored after surviving severe damage from Hurricane Iniki in 1992. It is listed on both the state and national registers of historic places.

 Waioli Mission Hall has served its church and community

in various activities for the diverse ministries of the Waioli

Hui'ia Church and the glory of God.
