Significance: The church is revered to as the "Mother" Protestant Church of Hawaii and since its dedication on July 21, 1842 it has been the scene of important events in Hawaiian history including christening, inaugurations and burials of Hawaiian monarchs. Constructed of indigenous coral blocks from ocean reefs and of timbers from the Pacific Coast of North America, from plans prepared by Rev. Bingham, this edifice dominated the scene of man-built structures with its austere architectural dignity.
