Not sure what you mean about most houses on church land. The majority of properties in Hawaii are held in fee simple interest. There are also large estates, such as Kamehameha Schools, and Alexander and Baldwin, that own vast amounts of land.
Back in the stone ages when we lived there the churches owned most of the land, or the land the US government did not own. I guess they sold it or transferred the ownership to estates or something.

What is the "fee simple interest" meaning? In Oklahoma, the property my house sits on is part of the deed for the house. I own the house and the land.

Does a homeowner of an individual house like those actually own the land the house sat on. Of course now the land is covered in lava so pretty much useless. I presume they lose ownership of the that chunk of Hawaii.
