Mokuaikaua Church is the oldest Christian church in Hawaii. In April 1820, the American Protestant missionaries who were sent to Hawaii by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions first landed here in Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii, then the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The congregation dates to 1820 and the building was completed in 1837. The state historic place register lists it as site 10-28-7231 as of January 1978. On October 3, 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as site number 78001015. In 2014, the National Trust for Historic Preservation included the church on its annual list of "America's Eleven Most Endangered Places" as it is at risk from both earthquake damage and natural wear and tear.
