Introduction The Konko Mission of Wahiawa was founded as a branch Church of Konko Mission of Honolulu by the late Rev. Haruko Takahashi, a local Nisei Konko minister, on January 14, 1940 at the initial place located at 901 Kilani Avenue in Wahiawa. On the wake of the World War II in 1941, the Rev. Takahashi was held in custody by the authority along with other leaders in the Japanese community. Seven years later, on January 1, 1948, the Rev. Takahashi reopened the church at the present location at 207 Muliwai Avenue in Wahiawa and resumed her missionary work. After serving the community people in Wahiawa for 32 years, the Rev. Takahashi passed away on December 24, 1972 at the age of 62. The Rev. Hiromichi Ishii, who worked at the Konko Missions in Hawaii, was temporarily assigned to take care of the church for three years while there were no residential minister. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tadashi Takahashi also took care of the vacant church for two years after the Rev. Ishii returned to Japan. On September 28, 1977, the Revs. Yasuhiro and Reiko Yano sent from Konko Church of Amagi in Fukuoka, took over the responsibility for the church. We have commemorated the 60th Anniversary Celebration of our church in 2000.
