Pastor's Greeting

Pastor of Fukui Free Christ Church Yoshitake Yamamoto

Welcome to the website of Fukui Free Christ Church.

Fukui Free Christ Church is a Protestant Christian church based on the Bible. People from young children to seniors gather here. God guides our lives richly through the Bible, which is His message of love.

Fukui Free Christ Church welcomes you. Please come and visit us.

Whether you are young or elderly, living a fulfilling life or struggling with life's difficulties, healthy or suffering from illness, and even if you think "the church is too formal" or "I am not a Christian," God is reaching out His hand to you. When you respond to His hand, you will also know His love.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you..." = The Bible (Jeremiah 29:11-14) =
