Kaumakapili Church
The first Kaumakapili (pronounced ka-oo-mah-kah-pee-lee) Church was built in 1837 at the corner of Beretania and Smith streets in Chinatown. That building burned to the ground in the great January 10, 1900 fire that was started by city officials to eradicate areas contaminated with bubonic plague. In addition, it wiped out Chinatown.
The new version of the Congregational church was rebuilt in the working-class neighborhood of Kalihi, where it was more in keeping with the lifestyle and values of the common people. They wanted a more comfortable place of worship, away from Kawaiaha‘o, which they perceived to be for wealthier people.
Sunday worship service begins at 10:30 a.m.
