About St. Augustine's

Founded as a mission of the Church of England in 1884 by English families who immigrated here to the sugar cane plantations, St. Augustine's Episcopal Church has always been a center of life in Kohala.  Today, “the red door church” reflects the lifestyle, ethnic diversity, and community roots of North Kohala.  Our parishioners range in age from keiki (children) to kupuna (elderly-grandparent) and have a heritage of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Korean, African, Hawaiian, Samoan and Caucasian ancestry.
