Waiola Church

Waiola Church in Lāhainā is the site of a historic mission established in 1823 on the island of Maui in Hawaiʻi. Originally called Waineʻe Church until 1953, the graveyard, which retains the original name of Waineʻe Cemetery, is the final resting place for aliʻi and early members of the royal family of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Since first being established, the many iterations of the mission have been susceptible to destruction by wind and fire. One instance took place in 1894, when the church was destroyed by the groundskeeper accidentally losing control of a rubbish fire. It was subsequently rebuilt only to be destroyed twice more and reconstructed. The longest standing church edifice, having been built in 1953, was lost to the 2023 Hawaii wildfires.
