The Service

Japanese Service: Sunday 9:00 AM-10:30 AM
English Service: Sunday 11:00 AM-12:30 PM

Anyone! If you are interested in God, in studying the Bible, or just want some answers, you are welcome to attend any of our services. We have people of all ages, young and old, single and married, with and without children, and of various races.

Casual clothing is perfectly fine. There is no special dress code, so please come as you are.

Our worship services last approximately 1.5 hours.
The music portion is about 35 minutes, and the sermon is about 60 minutes.
The remaining time includes prayer, announcements, and other elements of worship.
An offering is received at every service, but participation is entirely voluntary.

Sunday Services are given separately in Japanese and English.

We celebrate Communion the first Sunday Service of every month.

What is the music like?

We have contemporary praise and worship (similar to churches like Hillsong) in which the congregation joins the band in praising God with one voice. We believe in the praying of tongues as a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, but each person is encouraged to pray in any manner in which he or she feels comfortable.

About

We are not a student church, but our pastor has had extensive experience teaching at theological schools and has a scholarly approach toward teaching the Bible, so Bible students and non-students alike will find plenty of things to learn!

Yes. We are a charismatic church so we do pray in tongues at every service, but we also have people who do not pray in tongues. We believe that God listens to the prayer of a righteous person, regardless of how he/she prays.
Yes. Water baptism generally takes place during the Summer Bible Seminar.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit and the praying of tongues often occurs of its own accord during the Summer and Winter Bible Seminars, as well as throughout the year, whenever the person is ready and God is working!

We host small‑group Bible studies, called House Churches, in the homes of church members. For a list of House Churches and more details, please visit:
