Tokyo is one of the largest, most expensive, and most secular cities in the world. Grace City Church Tokyo is a church plant in the heart of Tokyo. From May 2010 it has begun meeting for weekly worship meetings in Ginza, a central shopping district in walking distance of Tokyo station, lowering the threshold for newcomers to attend.

Grace City Church Tokyo envisions to be a new community called to glorify God by loving and serving the city. It will focus on providing relevant answers from a gospel centered perspective to the many questions that young professionals struggle with on a daily basis. Issues like the meaning of work, stewardship of money or relationships. Together we will seek social justice and renewal of society. We believe that the Gospel will not only renew people’s lives, but that it will also affect culture and change the city. As Jesus became incarnate and lived amongst us in the ancient world where so much was wrong, we hope that he will now be palpably present among us in Tokyo.  Sharing our lives with others.  Sharing from the grace that God grants us.  By his mercy, the church will offer a truely living and truely restfull community literally in the middle of the buzz of an anxious city.

Besides Sunday worship services, small groups and special outreach events will provide opportunities for growth, pastoral care, fellowship, teaching and evangelism. The church plant will be an incubator for young church planters to start new churches in central Tokyo in the near future. This first church is part of a larger church planting movement, since the target group consists of hundreds of thousands or even millions of unreached young professionals. Many churches will be needed to affect the city and society with the gospel.
