This is St. James the Less Catholic Church in Ulupalakua, Maui, Hawaii. It's a mission church served by Our Lady Queen of Angels, which is actually fairly close to it on the same highway. Being used to the large distances of most rural areas of the West, to find two churches of the same faith so close together is surprising, but even in such locations as Denver Colorado that still occurs, so perhaps this should not be surprising. This church is actually older that Our Lady Queen of Angels and the original church built in this location was constructed at least as early as 1875, with missionary activity having dated back to the 1850s. The current structure was built in 1950 and renovated in 2002.
