DOWNTOWN. A monument to the work of Christian missionaries and to the Hawaiian people, this sturdy church was completed in 1842 after five years of effort. Built of 14,000 hand-cut slabs of coral (weighing 1000 pounds each), the church is a tribute to faith and perseverance. Embraced by Hawaiian royalty, it was the first permanent church in the archipelago. Today, it offers English and Hawaiian services and boasts a clock tower, fountain, and mausoleum for King Lunalilo.
