Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful church with a very interesting cemetery. Ten years ago we saw a ton of waterfalls, but this year was drier and we could only see one. There has also been some damage to the church from storms--but it is still lovely. On Saturdays, there is a great Farmer's Market next door to the church. It is small, but has a nice variety of things.

This is a beautiful architectural gem in a field of lush green - a perfect Hawaiian backdrop. Although we couldn’t go inside the day we visited, the exterior is absolutely charming. We were on our way to the Waipa park and ride shuttle and happened upon this church. I’d love to go back and see the interior.

I've been to the "little" green church dozens of time and taken pictures but on our last two visits to Kauai I actually attended the Sunday service here. Both visits the pastor and congregation was very warm and welcoming to us and the service very special. Hawaiian music, hymns sung in Hawaiian as well as English and hula were part of the service. This was a beautiful experience in beautiful Hanalei.

This church completes the Hawaii experience. The church is very friendly and nice to hear where visitors are from. The sermon are down to earth and very good. It is interesting to hear part of the service in Hawaiian.

This was originally erected in the early 1830s, which was destroyed by a storm in 1837 and was replaced by a wood frame building in 1841. Today you see its green exterior and vibrant stained glass windows which was built in 1912.

I love churchs and this one is super cute. Started in 1834, it has beautiful stain glass window, not much to see but you can feel the history when you walk in.

We worshipped at this church on a Sunday morning. The sanctuary was packed. When the worship leader asked visitors to stand, at least 1/3 of the congregation stood. They then passed around a microphone and asked each family to introduce themselves. This works with smaller numbers of visitors but not with so many. It takes up too much time.
One of the worship leaders later asked for individual prayer requests. We do this at our own church, but in this case it was drawn out with many folks not really asking for prayers but rather making statements. One women went over 5 minutes spouting a combination of New Age and religious "Kum Ba Yah" stuff. The worship leader amazingly criticized atheists and "evolutionists," lumping them into the same category. C'mon, that's nonsense.
There was a visiting preacher and he delivered an exceptional sermon. Well done! Would we visit here again? Not so sure.

We were very happy visiting this church for our recent Sunday morning church service. Learning about the history of this church, on the back of the bulletin, and participating in a Hawaiian based Christian service made for a good cultural experience. This is a small church but it has been going since 1834. The message was Christ centred and Bible based. If you're in the area and looking for a Sunday morning church service I'd suggest checking this church out.

The church is right on the main (and only) road that goes through the town of Hanalei.
