| At LCH we nurture our youth through a variety of activities. | LCH YouthLCH is committed to nurturing the youth of our congregation as they grow to young adulthood. The youth Sunday School class meets between worship services each Sunday morning. In addition, as part of our commitment to developing a sustainable youth program, LCH works together with other ELCA congregations on Oahu on confirmation and other events. ConfirmationLCH is again participating in the joint Hukilau confirmation program. The curriculum is entitled “Here We Stand” and is designed as a three-year program, so we are inviting sixth graders to join the class. The new material also has a web-based component that invites students to delve deeper into topics, connect with other confirmands, or to use interactive games and videos. Given our small numbers and to provide continuity throughout the entire school year, LCH confirmands will combine with the class at Calvary by the Sea in Aina Haina for weekly training. These Wednesdays will begin with pizza or other fun food at 6:00 PM and finish by 8:00 PM. One Sunday per month, we join with youth from around the island and meet at one of our ELCA churches at 4:30 PM for a joint activity. Those youth who have completed confirmation are welcome to join us for a refresher and to participate as mentors. Parents and other adults are asked to assist with meals, leading small groups, and transportation. Pictures from Confirmation Events

He is meeting with each partner congregation to assess youth ministry needs and help develop more effective youth ministry island-wide. He is also helping the partner congregations determine the feasibility of a full-time youth coordinator. Adam reports to a board of directors selected from the partner churches with whom he meets with on a monthly basis. Currently the Board includes: Collette Weidemann (Christ, Mililani), Bruce Kau (Calvary by the Sea), Jeff Lilley (Lutheran Church of Honolulu), and Dave Kieffer (Christ, Mililani). LCH interns Josh Graber and Katie Grindberg were instrumental in developing the seeds for this new ministry!
