Welcome to Hikari Baptist Church

Hikari Baptist Church
"Learn from the Bible, Follow the Bible"

光バプテスト教会

ようこそ

Hello, we are the Wilhite family. We have started a new Christian church in Otanoshike. Christians gather every Sunday at our home to worship God, pray, study the Bible, and enjoy fellowship together. Our gatherings are conducted in both Japanese and English.

At our church, we teach and follow only the Bible. We believe that the church is a gathering of believers with a deep faith, not a building or religious denomination. We are a Baptist church and have no connection with Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Catholics, or the Unification Church. Baptists have been spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in Japan since 1860.

Every Sunday, our gatherings begin by praising God and worshipping Him. Afterward, we study the Bible. At 12:30 PM, we enjoy lunch together, followed by a time for prayer and fellowship among Christians, where we talk, play games, and encourage one another.

If you would like to worship God, need prayer, or want to know more about the Christian faith based on the Bible, we warmly welcome you! We do not charge any fees, nor do we force anyone to convert to Christianity. Please feel free to join us anytime.

初めまして。私たちは、ウィルハイトファミリーです。私たちは、2023年7月から大楽毛でキリスト教会を始めています。毎週日曜日クリスチャンの方々は、一緒に神様を礼拝し、祈り、聖書を学び、交わりを持っています。祈り、聖書を学び交わりを持っています。集会は、日本語と英語の両方で行っています。私たちの教会は、バプテスト教会です。エホバの証人、末日聖徒イエス・キリスト教会(モルモン教会)、カトリック、統一教会とは、一切関係がありません。バプテストは、1860年から日本でイエス・キリストの福音を伝えています。私たちの教会では、聖書のみを教え、従っています。聖書では、教会とは、教会の建物や、教派によるものではなく、聖書の神様を信じる者たちの集りであると教えています。

毎週日曜日、私たちの集会は、神様を賛美し、礼拝することから始まります。その後、聖書の学びを行います。12時半頃、一緒に昼食をとり、その後、祈りの時間を持ちます。最後にクリスチャン同士の交わりの時間があり、そこで話し合いや、ゲーム、励まし合いを行っています。

神様を礼拝したい方、祈りが必要な方、又は聖書に基づくキリスト教について知りたい方は、いつでも歓迎致します。私たちの教会は、参加料をいただいたり、キリスト教への改宗を強制したりすることはありませんので、どうぞお気軽にお越し下さい。

YOU ARE INVITED
