Early Church / by Dave Hileman

In the tiny community of Keanea on the road to Hana is this beautiful old stone Congregational Church, the Lanakila Ihiihi O Iehova Ona Kaua Church, built in the 1860’s. It is still used for worship and some community events. It is across a ball field from a place to park along the ocean and there were no trespassing signs up so this is as close as I was able to get. I did note a fundraiser scheduled to help repair the building. This is the only structure to survive the devastating tsunami of April 1, 1946.
