We give thanks to God for all He has done for us in Jesus Christ. And we praise God for all of you and your partnership with us. In Japan, they have a “thanks for labor” holiday, on November 23rd.  We usually celebrated American style Thanksgiving near that day. For the last 15 years, we invited our fellowship group students and friends to our home for food and stories. The food highlight was our barbecued turkey!

The church is a community of disciples who passionately want to share the love and hope of Christ.

Join us for a virtual visit in the midst of COVID19 travel restrictions! Interested in Japan? Lots of people are! The Short-Term Mission Team is hosting this virtual visit with Gordon and Lee Ann Hwang, IM Global servants in Yokohama, Japan. They have been serving in Japan for the past 15 years. They will give you a taste of their ministry and give you food for thought on what you could do to share your faith with young people in Japan. Join us September 22, 2020 at 1pm(EDT). 

Have you ever been surprised by the beauty of Christ’s presence? 

If you weren’t able to tune in to the IM World Mission Conference (WMC) Live Stream 2020 event in July, you still have the opportunity to watch us! Our WMC video (30 min.) was uploaded to YouTube.

The picture of this wooden hanging bridge taken by Rev. Dr. Stan Slade is a testimony in itself of perseverance. It was built in the late 19th century. It is referred to as the “Gospel Bridge” and still has 4 of the original cables. The bridge invites us to notice nature, people, edges, water, resilience, perseverance, steadfastness, love, hope…..God’s creation and omnipresence.
