“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,
so that you also may have fellowship with us.
And our fellowship is with the Father
and with His Son, ” (1 John 1: 3).
The Bridge Fellowship is a Protestant Christian, Gospel-centered, reformed, church plant in Tokyo. We are a diverse congregation seeking to portray a picture of heaven in a culture known for its homogeneity.
After gathering for home Bible studies and reaching musicians, young professionals, their friends and families, we began our first public worship gathering on Easter 2017—-with one baptism. Since then, our church has become a fellowship for English speaking foreigners and Japanese in the Tokyo metropolitan area!
We are affiliated to City to City Asia Pacific, a partner of Resound Asia Pacific and a member church of Acts 29—-a global movement of gospel-centered church-planting churches.
We long to see people from every culture centering their lives on the Gospel of grace, integrating their faith and work, their artistic gifts with their faith, and showing mercy and justice for the common good of Tokyo, Japan and the World to God's glory.
あらゆる文化の人々が、福音の恵みを人生の中心とし、仕事と信仰、芸術的な賜物と信仰を融合し、東京や日本、そして世界の共通の益のために、憐れみと義を神に栄光をもたらすため示していくことを待ち望んでいます。
