24 solar panels for a Lahaina church

The Bride Church rebuilt after the fire. Now it has power that keeps it serving.

By the Inside Outreach team · November 7, 2025

Two years after the fire, we got to deliver something special to Lahaina.

Twenty-four solar panels for The Bride Church, a church that rebuilt after the fires.

More than power

For this community, those panels mean more than a lower electric bill. They mean a church that can keep its doors open. Lights on for the people who come in hurting. A place to gather that doesn’t have to choose between paying Hawaiian Electric and helping a family.

They represent resilience. Faith. A fresh start.

Long-term recovery

This is the part of disaster relief that doesn’t make the news. The first weeks get all the cameras. But recovery takes years, and the projects that matter most are often the practical ones that help a community stand on its own again.

Solar panels. Tools. A truck. A tiny home in the backyard. Things that keep working long after we leave.

We can’t do it alone. Your gifts make projects like this happen. Donate. Volunteer. Share. Let’s keep shining hope across Hawaiʻi.
