Kobe Union Church
We are a Christian congregation in Kobe, Japan, which is international in every sense of the word. From our beginnings in 1871, we have been the church home for people from many different countries of the world, and from many different Christian traditions. We are also the church home for many Japanese. We will provide you with the stimulating experience of worshipping and serving Christ in the midst of great diversity. Central to the church's life is worship which tries to capture the breadth and depth of our cultural and liturgical traditions.

Nagoya Union Church
There are many wonderful churches in Nagoya that have bilingual services and strive to meet the needs of Japanese speakers in their church. We see our mission as a little different. We are a church that strives to meet the needs of English speakers who are living and working in Japan. It is our passionate prayer that these believers will then be equipped and encouraged to spread the Gospel message to their friends, neighbors, and colleagues in Japan.

Tokyo Union Church
We are an interdenominational English-speaking congregation centered on Jesus Christ. One thing that makes TUC different is how we're really open to all people: all nationalities, all backgrounds, all types of Christians. Click here for resources from Tokyo Union Church.There are actually over 40 nationalities in the congregation. That diversity is really at the heart of who we are and how we worship, a constant in our identity.
Tokyo Union Church is full of activity all the time, and not just on Sundays. Yet the emphasis is on serving not just out of a sense of duty or sacrifice but with Joy. After all, serving is one way how we show our love as Christians. As we grow and perhaps become even busier, we want to grow equally in Joy.
One of the unusual things about this church is where we are: right in the center of this great metropolis. We're integrated into the community and making more of a difference to Omotesando and Tokyo through our presence here is another area of focus and growth.

West Tokyo Union Church
We are an international, ecumenical and interdenominational English-speaking congregation which seeks to welcome all people. Blessed with a congregation that is diverse and international, we seek to be a warm and friendly Christian community in the western area of the Tokyo metropolis.
We are a Protestant church and our worship tends to be traditional and liturgical. We affirm the historic, orthodox Christian faith and the Apostle’s and Nicene Creeds. We welcome all who would like to join in Christian worship in English regardless of their nationality or background. WTUC is committed to reaching out to others in the community and the world through our prayer and outreach ministries. WTUC is an associate member church of the National Christian Council in Japan.

Yokohama Union Church
It is part of the Christians Abroad in International Congregations. Millions of people are living in lands other than their own, struggling to understand another language, culture, a way of life. They seek community, support, a grasp of hope and reality. Persons in such situations can be lost, uncertain, confused. For these and all who might by touched by the Good News in Jesus Christ, there are oases where Living Water is to be found. Christians abroad find fellowship in International Congregations, gatherings of like-minded and like-experienced people who seek God’s presence and to follow God’s leading. These assemblies of believers focus their lives and activities together under six significant common characteristics.

Bilingual Bible Study

THE WORDS OF JESUS BILINGUAL BIBLE STUDY 日英バイリンガル聖書研究: イエス様の教え taught by Dr. Joe Ozawa
Deep Dive Discussions
Kobe Union Church
Guided discussion on Christian themes in the light of modern scholarship (Scripture/History/Archaeology/the Big Debates etc.)
Group Lectio Divina
Tokyo Union Church
A simplified form of an ancient practice called Lectio Divina ("Divine Reading") which followers of Christ have used through the ages to listen for God's word to us. It is not a "study" but rather a listening practice where we wait quietly in meditation on a passage of Scripture. This is an intentional time of focused attentiveness and rest before God so that we might be quiet enough to hear God speak to us.
Led by Pastor Steve
Pastoral Investigations
Tokyo Union Church
The study will wrestle with classic and modern texts, videos, and lectures from a Christian perspective.
