Those that were in need of help were lucky to have Christian to assist them. I know the dependent clause is that were in need of help

I think the clause is a noun clause Is that correct?

Right. The clause is the subject of the verb, "were."
Thank you ! I was confused because the sentence started with those.
Oh darn! I got careless. Sorry!

The clause beginning "that" is an adjective clause modifying "those."
