The Hawaiian Evangelical Association, also known a

The Hawaiian Evangelical Association, also known as the Ahahui Euanelio Hawaii, supported the Congregational Church in Hawai'i for more than a century, from its inception in 1854 until 1959. In 1959, HEA members voted to become a part of the United Church of Christ, which later became the Hawaiʻi Conference United Church of Christ.

However, the roots of the HEA begin in 1819, when Boston-based American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) formed the Sandwich Islands Mission. Comprised of Protestant missionaries from all walks of life, members of the Sandwich Islands Mission came together and vowed to bring the gospel to Hawaiʻi. The first company of missionaries left Boston, Massachusetts on 29 October 1819 and landed at Kawaihae, Hawaiʻi Island on 30 March 1820.

The archives hold all sixty-eight (68) of Levi Chamberlain's account books illustrating how the Missionaries kept their pantries full.

For both the HEA Names File Collection Project and

For both the HEA Names File Collection Project and the HMH School Program, accessibility is a vital component. While the HEA Names File Collection project focuses on increasing accessibility to archival resources through transcription and digitization, the HMH School Program focuses on maintaining and extending the interconnectedness of our learning places. The knowledge being mapped through the HEA Names File will eventually matriculate into the scholarship used in our education programs and inform the ways that Hawaiian history is taught and understood.

As we move headlong into a new school year, HMH is continuing to support the resources available to our educators. You can help us do that! Opening September 12th, our online auction will allow you to support our scholarship program so no school has to worry about a pay wall. On Saturday, September 18, HMH will be hosting a virtual Huaka'i, catered in-home by Ke Nui Kitchen.

SAVE THE DATE! -- This past year has redefined “home” for many of us. No longer was home a place to retreat from the world, it became our worksite, our primary unit of connection, and for our keiki, their school. Institutions, educators, and families continue to shift modalities at a moment’s notice. In celebration of this enduring resilience, please join us Saturday, September 18, to support Hawaiian Mission Houses, educators, and students in this school year!

COVID UPDATE — Due to the recent emergency procl

COVID UPDATE — Due to the recent emergency proclamations of the Governor and the Mayor and the ongoing health crisis, we have decided to postpone our events to promote the safety and health of staff, volunteers, and our community.

We are confident we will be able to reschedule for later this fall. We will be producing a video-recorded virtual version of the performances very soon. We are offering you a chance to see the program virtually for free. Once we have released the video version, you will receive a free link to the video-recorded program.

When we have determined a new date for the in-person event, we will honor your ticket purchase for the new date. In the event that you are unable to attend the rescheduled event, at that time you will have the choice to obtain a refund or to donate your ticket purchase to support the important educational work that Hawaiian Mission Houses does. Mahalo again for your support and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Did you know the Frame House was the first catalog

Did you know the Frame House was the first catalogued item in the Hawaiian Mission Houses collection? Following twenty-nine (29) years of service to the mission, the house became a private residence for the Cooke Family in 1850. The Cooke's leased the house to the Hawaii Mission Childrens' Society in 1907 and then gifted it to the organization in 1927.
