Child or adult, foreigner or Japanese, Denen Grace Chapel reaches out with open arms to welcome you!
It’s true. We believe that every person who comes into the circle of this special fellowship was sent by God Himself. He leads, loves and works in each one of us. So, above all else we want to express Christ’s love to you with genuine, heartfelt warmth. We are eager to know you, and we’re excited to share with you all the ways God is working in HIS church here in Kawasaki, Japan.
Our History
Denen Grace Chapel began in the fall of 2001 in the Laverman home in Yokohama, Japan, with a half dozen Christians in attendance. Since then the church has grown steadily, and is a part of a fellowship of churches called the Conservative Baptist Association in Japan.
In 1947, during the early days of post-World War II Japan, American missionaries began church planting work in northern Tohoku which soon became the Conservative Baptist Association in Japan. Currently, the growing church association includes around 80 churches in Tohoku, Kanto, and Kyushu.
Denen Grace Chapel is currently starting new daughter chapels in both Azamino (Denentoshi Line) 2020 and Musashi Kosugi (Nambu/Tokyuu Lines) 2021 that will be united in growing together and expanding our church impact in new places for new people.
