Levuka Methodist Church
Methodist Church
One of Fiji’s earliest Methodist churches, completed in 1869 in wood and stone, closely tied to the history of missionary work
The Methodist Church stands at the northern end of Beach Street and was built in 1869, making it one of Fiji’s earliest Methodist churches. Methodist missionaries had great influence in Fiji in the 19th century and helped bring about chief Cakobau’s conversion to Christianity. Today Methodism remains the largest denomination in Fiji. The church’s exterior is plain, and the Fijian-language choral harmonies at Sunday services are beautiful. Nearby is Levuka Public School, Fiji’s first public school, completed in 1879. Admission is free, and visitors are asked to keep quiet.
