Church and Religious Services on Kauai

Whether it’s your weekly routine or a special Christmas or Easter service on the island, Kauai has welcoming congregations in every region. Many of the historic churches are beautiful in their own right, and some still sing hymns in Hawaiian.

Check times before you go. Service times vary by season and around holidays. Christmas and Easter draw big crowds and often add extra services, so check the church’s website or call ahead.
