English-friendly Area Churches

Once you get out of the center of Tokyo, there's a real scarcity of organized worship and fellowship opportunities (also known as "church" :-) ) in English.

For those of you looking for some degree of English in your "worship and fellowship opportunities" around the Nishi-Kasai or Urayasu areas, here's a non-comprehensive list of churches with bilingual or English-speaking meetings.

If you know of any others, please drop us a mail. Thanks!

Nishi-Kasai English Worship Service

Disbanded February 2005.

That's us.  Started by two couples remaining after the Urayasu International Christ Church's English service disbanded, we're now a small independent fellowship of about 10 people.

We meet in Nishi-Kasai on Sundays at 3pm for singing, bible study and prayer. There's also a prayer meeting on Wednesday mornings near Shin-Urayasu station.

See the navigation bar for details on how to find or contact us.

Nishi-Kasai International Church

Church: 03-3869-8051
Peter's home: 0424-94-3151

Peter and Renate Younge are OMF missionaries running this Japanese church plant.

The service is in typical Japanese style, but English sermon notes are available at the door.

Hope Church Steve Kaylor pastors this somewhat charismatic Japanese church.  After 45 minutes or so of singing in Japanese, one or two sermons are simultaneously translated into English.

Meets Sunday at 10:30am.

Ueno no Mori Church

Bilingual contemporary service lead by Anthony Miyafuji.

Not strictly in the area, it's still within reasonable commuting distance.
Meets Sunday evenings at 5pm.

Victory Christian Center
1-4-33 Hokuei, Urayasu, Chiba

Tel:  047-355-0599

Only have 3rd-hand reports about this fellowship so I can't vouch for it, but I hear a lot of Africans and some Disney folk go to this reputedly charismatic service.
