History
[edit]In 1951 Willis Ehnle from Apostolic Christian Church of America came to Japan. From the moment he arrived, he was sharing the Gospel with everyone he could.
In 1959 The Tsutsujigaoka Apostolic Christian Church building was built. Ever since, we have been worshipping on Sundays as well as teaching Sunday School.
Additional events include Christmas services, Easter services, summer vacation Bible school, monthly ladies meetings, and weekly English classes.
