Western Jurisdiction Archives & History Conference
2026-09-08 - 2026-09-11 | Ala Moana Hotel, 410 Atkinson Drive, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
With a warm aloha, greetings from the Western Jurisdiction Commission on Archives and History! We would like to invite you to join us for an exciting convocation, hosted by the Hawaii District & the Cal-Pac Annual Conference, September 8-11, 2026, in Honolulu, Hawaii. It’s been over 20 years since the gathering was held in Hawaii.
Our theme is Stories in Hawaiian Methodism. This event is designed to highlight the cultural diversity of Hawaii,
Methodist involvement in the overthrow of the nation of Hawaii by the U.S. government, and the work of the Cal-Pac Conference Acts of Repentance Committee. A recent resolution was submitted at the last General Conference.
We have some exciting field trips planned: the Plantation Village in Waipahu and the Susannah Wesley Community Center in Kalihi. We will also learn about historic ethnic congregations in the Hawaii District. One evening we will honor Christ UMC as a UMC Historical Site and on another we’ll visit First UMC Honolulu, the lightning rod of historic Methodism in Honolulu. Our time together also promises to have opportunities for fellowship and to connect with one another across our Jurisdiction.
