Puna Covenant Church has long and important cultural ties to the first Christians in Hawai’ii - in 1820.
Since 1912, we have been involved in the life of plantation workers, families, professionals, teachers, businesses, students, youth, and children.
We would like to celebrate our kahu, church pastors/shepherds.
They are part of our heritage and legacy of Puna and Puna Covenant Church.
