OUR MINISTRY
A FRIENDLY CHURCH. Greeters meet worshippers as they arrive and reflect the friendly, welcoming spirit that prevails at Lihue Christian Church. After the service, visitors are invited to Aloha Hour - - to linger for fellowship, refreshments and conversation.
The sanctuary is equipped with a hearing assistance system and is handicapped accessible.
A CARING CHURCH. We have an active Welcoming Church Team, a Hospitality Team and a Visitation Ministry whose members keep in touch with Church members to provide encouragement, support, and inspiration. Pastoral counseling is provided by appointment with the Minister.
A CHURCH IN COMMUNITY. Lihue Christian Church is an important force within the community, with members providing volunteer and financial support for the Soup Kitchen, the Food Pantry, Habitat for Humanity, The Kauai Association of UCC churches, and other service opportunities. The Church conducts special offerings for Worldwide Missions, including "One Great Hour of Sharing" and "Neighbors in Need." The church sponsors the highly regarded Ae Kamali'I Preschool, and a Senior Day Care program that meets in its Social Hall, Monday thru Friday, from 9 to 4.
A CHURCH THAT PROVIDES SPIRITUAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES. Lihue Christian Church offers prayer support groups and biblical seminars at various times of the week for the convenience of people's schedules, open to members as well as non-members. Small Group Ministry is one of our newest and most enthusiastic programs.
A CHURCH THAT NEEDS MEMBER SUPPORT. Lihue Christian Church needs member support to maintain our ministries and to carry on our mission to do God's work in our community. Members show their support by attending church services and by participating on the various Boards and Ministry Teams. Another type of support is financial and is reflected in the generosity of their stewardship pledges that enable us to sustain and grow our ministries.
A CHURCH FOR ALL. Every week, our worship bulletin contains these welcoming words,
All who labor and are heavy laden, all who feel alone and are in need of Christs redeeming love, all who have drifted away from faith and wish a fresh and new beginning, all who seek a way to serve the Lord and make a positive difference in the world we at Lihue Christian Church open our hearts to you.

We are a progressive mainline congregation with beliefs rooted in the Lutheran, Calvanist, Reformed and Congregational traditions.
Historically, Lihue Christian Church was founded to serve the Japanese Christian community on Kauai. Today, Lihue Christian Church is becoming increasingly diverse in every way, as it lives out its' commitment to be a house of worship that embraces all of God's people.
With more than 100 years of service on Kauai, Lihue Christian Church seeks to lift up the best of both the old and the new.
