HISTORY

FOUNDED IN 1892

Our church is over 130 years old and is located in quaint downtown Hilo on the eastside of the Big Island of Hawaii.  Originally the church was dedicated as the Portuguese Evangelical Church with 101 members in December 1892.  As of today, in 2023 we still have members in our church congregation whose grandfather and father were part of the congregation who helped to build the church in 1892.

In 1930 the church was altered to include a pastor’s office, choir loft, kitchen, and a few classrooms that were finished in 1931.  The name Portuguese Evangelical Church was changed in 1935 to Central Christian Church and again in 2023 to House of Glory.

Culturally we have a diverse congregation who worship together and have become a family who enjoy gathering together for fellowship which includes worship, bible study, barbeques, and retreats.

If you are looking for a place to worship where the Holy Spirit has liberty to move in our midst, we would like to invite you to come join us.
