[1][3][7][4][8][5][9] The original building used by the guest Minister, Jonathan Smith Green, was a shed built on land owned by the Kahale family granted under King Kamehameha III.

[1] In 1834, due to the ballooning congregation numbers (3000 worshipers was noted at one point) a second building was built, which was a thatched structure.

With this swell in membership, a new third church structure was built under the supervision of Richard Armstrong after Green left in 1836.

[1] William Patterson Alexander was installed at the church in 1857 after pastor Daniel Conde was not liked by the congregation and a petition to have him removed was circulated.

In 1872 that fund-raising efforts were undertaken by William Pulepule Kahale, the first Native Hawaiian pastor in the church, to build a new structure.

It was built to honor Queen Ka'ahumanu's earlier request by Wailuku Sugar Company manager Edward Bailey.
