About our Church
"Be devoted to prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;"
Colossians 4:2
We want to be true to THE BIBLICAL CALL
Jesus' essential call was to plant churches. Virtually all the great evangelistic challenges of the New Testament are basically calls to plant churches, not simply to share the faith. The 'Great Commission' is a call for Christians to plant churches. Grace Community Bible Church Utsunomiya is a church plant.

EXPERIENCE
I was called to preach at the age of 22. Before coming to Japan, I served as a Phone Counselor, Awana Chaplain, Homeless Shelter Counselor, Sunday School Teacher, Children’s Ministry Director, and Nursing Home Ministry Director.
I have been teaching the Bible for over twenty years and have preached in the Caribbean, Canada, and more than a dozen states in the U.S. I have also preached in a Bible college, a seminary, and at various mission conferences.
I am grateful that God has given me the opportunity to teach His Word in Japan. My ministry experience includes serving in churches ranging from thirty members to over three thousand.
