According to the 2008 UCC Annual Report, the UCC is comprised of 5,320 churches and 1,111,691 members.
The Church Records collection contains holograph manuscripts (mostly in books) in both English and Hawaiian (with some translated). Early membership lists, accounts of missions and churches, minutes of church and clerical associations meetings and some parrish records.
