BRIDGE BUILDER APPRENTICE 222 |
We are an English speaking Gospel-centered church plant in the world's most populous metropolis known as Tokyo.
We are a diverse congregation, with at least 15 nations represented, seeking to portray a picture of heaven in a culture known for its homogeneity.
Our pastoral apprentice model is taken from 2 Timothy 2: 2 where Paul said to a younger pastor, “entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
We believe that it is the role of pastors to entrust to faithful men in the context of a local church.
While Seminary can provide the tools it is the local church that identifies and trains elders and pastors for Gospel ministry.
