Congreso Hubenil Aruba, eleven years running.
CHA is the Aruba Youth Congress. Every year the churches of this island put their names aside for three days and bring their young people into one room. This is the eleventh. Two things happen: workshops on Friday and Saturday morning, and worship nights on all three evenings. The theme this year is One Flame, One Purpose, from Ephesians 4.
Friday and Saturday morning, Iglesia Peniel.
Two mornings, 9:00am to 1:00pm, for ages 12 to 25. Free, and it covers both mornings. Sessions are announced closer to the date.

Why we do this
It is easy to grow up thinking your church is the whole picture. CHA exists to break that. For three days you sit next to people from congregations you have never visited, worship with bands you have never heard, and find out the flame you carry is the same one they carry.
That is Ephesians 4: one body, one Spirit, one hope.
One congress, many churches
Every year, churches from across Aruba put their names aside for three days and build this congress together. These are the ones behind this year's CHA.
This is what it looks like
Sweat, laughter, worship and a whole lot of purple. Here is a taste of past years.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 4:4-6NIV
One body. One Spirit. One hope. Different churches, different neighbourhoods, one flame between us.
Ask away
Parents and pastors ask these too. If yours is not here, ask us directly and we answer fast.
Thursday 15, Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October 2026. Workshops are at Iglesia Peniel on Friday and Saturday morning, 9:00am to 1:00pm. Worship nights are at Iglesia Maranatha on all three evenings, 7:30pm to 10:00pm.
Nothing. CHA is free: the workshops and all three worship nights.
The workshops are for ages 12 to 25. The worship nights are open to everyone, any age, member of a church or not.
For the workshops, yes, so we know how many seats to set out. For the worship nights, no. Just show up.
No. CHA is free. Sign up for the workshops so we can keep you a spot, and that is all there is to it.
A parent or guardian fills in their name and phone number on the form and agrees to the consents. That is it.
Bring someone with you.
