Children's Ministry 6 weeks through the 5th grades.
It is our responsibility to supplement what you are teaching your child at home. We hold fast to the promise in Proverbs 22:6 which says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Speak the Word of God to them. Their spirits are well able to receive it.

We know that as parents your main concern is your child’s (spirit, soul, and body), so as parents, God has called you to play a most important part in the formation of your child’s spiritual growth. You are the ones to disciple your children as to who God is and how to have a relationship with Him. To help them understand that He alone is the one who changes hearts.
Our vision for the children
Our vision for the children here at LHCC is to provide a loving, secure and fun environment in which a child will be encouraged to develop into the young person that God wants them to be. The most important part of the child’s Christian walk is the foundation, because a building can only be as strong as the foundation on which it stands.

Youth Ministry
At LHCC, we are passionate about guiding the next generation to experience the fullness of Jesus’ love and live out their faith with confidence. Our youth ministry is built on a foundation of friendship, growth, and encouragement. Every Tuesday night, we gather with one goal in mind—to help our youth discover the beauty of community and the joy of following Christ.
What to Expect:
From fun games to thought-provoking discussions, our evenings are filled with laughter and meaningful moments. We believe in creating a space where young people can ask questions, share their thoughts, and grow together in their walk with God. We wrap up the night with worship, lifting our voices and hearts to Jesus, deepening our relationship with Him and one another.
If your child needs a ride to or from church, we’ve got you covered! Simply email Michael Dodd at [email protected] at least 48 hours in advance, and we’ll arrange transportation.
Want to get involved?
We’re always grateful for volunteers and donations! If you’d like to help by bringing food or drinks for the youth or offering your time, we’d love to have you join us. Email Michael to get started—we welcome your support in making a difference in these young lives! |

Benevolence Ministry
|
For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, the needy and to the poor, in your land. ~ Deuteronomy 15:11 Food Distribution Program: Providing Hope and SupportThe Food Distribution Program is a key part of our Benevolence Ministry, dedicated to providing essential food support to families and individuals in need. Established in 2009 by Pastor Sherman Pemberton, the program has been steadily growing, serving an increasing number of families in our community each year.
Who We Serve
Since our first distribution in April 2009, we’ve had the privilege of serving families from La Habra, Fullerton, Rowland Heights, Whittier, Brea, Monterey Park, Walnut, and La Puente. As of 2023, we’re assisting an average of 100 families each month, equating to over 400 individuals in our local area.
Where Our Food Comes From
We receive between 2,600-3,000 pounds of food each month through the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank via the The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a government initiative aimed at helping those in need. Despite the scale of the program, our monthly operational costs remain around $100, allowing us to serve many with minimal expense.
Our Mission: More Than Just FoodWhile providing food is a critical aspect of our program, our mission extends beyond meeting physical needs. We aim to help families and individuals transition back to a self-sustaining life by offering:
