In the Mission Church’s work to spread the Gospel among the islands, the first church to be planted in Oahu was the Native Church (later renamed The First Native Church of Honolulu and finally Kawaiahaʻo Church). In the formation of this church, the first group of members to be baptized were some of the prominent aliʻi of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This historic moment was memorialized by Reverend Hiram Bingham, the first pastor of the Native Church, in his memoirs. “The 5th of Dec. was a day of special interest, as the period of one of the most noticeable events in the history of the Hawaiian people. It has already been stated, that early in June, a number of the leading chiefs of the nation were set before the church and the world for further probation as candidates for admission to the church, then consisting of the pioneers of the mission and the first reinforcement from the United States. The noble phalanx thus propounded, having stood their ground well more than six months, all, at length, took on them the vows of God’s everlasting covenant. Kaahumanu, Kalanimoku, Namahana, Lanui, Kapule, Kealiiahonui, and Richard Kalaaiaulu, were received on the first Sabbath of Dec, at Honolulu, Kapiolani a little later, at Kaawaloa, and Kalakua, later, still, at Lahaina, there being, as yet, but one organized church in all the islands. Kalanimoku brought forward his little son in arms, accustomed to other offerings to other deities, and dedicated him in baptism, to the Lord. They were welcomed as fellow-citizens in Zion, and sat down with the missionaries at the Lord’s �table.” (From “Residence of Twenty-One Years in The Sandwich Islands” by Hiram Bingham, published originally in 1847) Kawaiahao church Image credits: Hugo Stangenwald, 1857 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
