About Us
Kawaguchi Christ Church was founded in 1995 by Pastor Donald Schaeffer, who came to Japan as a missionary from the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA).
Kawaguchi Christ Church is now led by Pastor Kouichi Motonomi and the Eldership. It is a part of the Alliance Church Network, a group of churches associated with the C&MA.
The current church membership is about 30 people, some attending the Sunday Morning Service in person, and some attending remotely via our live streaming of the worship service.
