A Diverse Community Open to All
Join a Small Group.
Lectio Divina Group
A time to spend listening to the Bible – slowly, quietly, attentively. Each Thursday morning at 8 am gather with us to listen for God’s word to you for the day. All comers are welcome. You may come and spend the whole time in silence, but there will be moments when any who wish can share what they are hearing.
Women’s Bible Study
The Women’s Bible Study is a space where women can study and learn from one another. It is also a sacred space where they share, hear, and pray for one another creating a close-knit community, fellowship, and support group from all over the world. You are invited to join.
Praying & Reading the Psalms
Richard Gardner, Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies at Sophia University, is leading a course on reading and praying the psalms via Zoom. The format of the course is based on a modified form of Lectio Divina. This is not a “lecture course” and the aim is to provide participants ample time to share their questions and reflections. The course will be offered in two sections (i.e., choose one or the other): Monday at 7:00 PM or Friday at 10:00 AM and will run for about 45 minutes with the option for staying linked together a bit longer for further discussion and reflection. Enrolment for each section is limited to eight.
Young Adults Group
The Young Adults Group (YAG) is a fellowship group inclusive of all people ranging from 18-39. The group is designed to be a home away from home, gathering online or in-person to share life, learn, and have fun. We would love for you to join us! If you would like to learn more, please contact YAG Leader Sarah by clicking Sign Up.
Pastoral Investigations
It is a weekly study that will take place on Zoom every Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. with Pastor Héctor. The study will wrestle with classic and modern texts from the Christian tradition. The focus of this study is not on investigating pastors, but rather uncovering pastoral guidance for our lives through the various texts we explore. You are invited and welcomed to eat your lunch and join the study during your break.
Men’s Breakfast
The Men’s Breakfast group meets on the second and fourth Saturday of the month at 8:00 am. It is an opportunity to get to know other members of the church and have a time of good conversation and fellowship. If you are interested in joining please sign up.
Morning Meet-Ups
A zoom-based morning meetup that started during the Pandemic as a measure to cope with the physical distance. It starts at 8 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. People join between 8 AM and 9. Adding to existing church members, alumni and online members from outside Japan frequently join us to catch up.
Sermon Lab
Please join us for the hybrid Sermon Lab that meets every Tuesday evening at 6:30 PM in the B1 - AB room. The pastoral team will lead the discussion of the Bible verses that will be preached on Sunday.
Alpha & Omega
COMING SOON: A beginner Bible study that meets weekly for 11 weeks to discuss the big questions in our life. It builds upon the Alpha course. It is a course open to all who want to build their faith––no matter where you find yourself in your spiritual journey.
