Sunday Services at KCC |
 |
We believe that God has placed us here in this country
and has called each and every one of us to a local church. From
those mature in years to the little children, we gather together
in this one place to praise the Lord, hear His Words in the sermon
and fellowship with one another in the name of Jesus. |

| Praise
Our service starts 10 minutes early when people start gathering
in the sanctuary early to pray and prepare their hearts for the
service. The actual service then starts with one of our worship
leaders opening with a prayer and with songs of praise. In this
way, we unite our hearts in the Lord and come into the Lord's presence.
We sing a wide variety of songs from the old hymns and songs of
faith to contemporary worship songs. Being a gathering of people
walking out our Christian lives with joy, our church can be lively
at times surprising our new comers. Our liveliness comes from enjoying
the abundant life that we have in Christ Jesus and we show it forth
in our praise and worship to our Lord. |

Sermon
Our sermons are preached by Pastor Stafford as well as the elders
in our church. The preacher seeks the Word from the Lord and whether
it is a Word of salvation and encouragement or a Word of repentance,
they serve as a compass needle directing us in our daily lives.
(Although the sermon is preached in Japanese, simultaneous translation
is provided for English speakers.) |

Fellowship & Communion
After the praise and worship and before the sermon, we have a time
of greeting and fellowship. Going up to one another, we bless each
other in the name of Jesus which not only blesses but encourages
us knowing that we have brothers and sisters in the Lord surrounding
us.
Once a month on the third Sundays, we have a time of communion where
we partake together of the bread symbolizing the body of Christ
and of the wine symbolizing the blood that was shed by Him for our
sins. These elements is an outward showing of our belief and so
we partake of this together in faith. Afterwards, we also share
a physical meal ordering out and having lunch together in the sanctuary
during which time you will hear lots of talking and laughter. |

Sunday School
Our Sunday Schools start from 9:10 in the morning before the service
starts. The classes are divided into two age groups: 3-years-old
to elementary school and the junior and senior high school. The
younger age group is taught the Bible at their level of understanding
using drawing, coloring and many other fun crafts. The high school
class is taught the Words in the Bible and how you can apply it
to your daily lives and walk out your faith. |
