This church, right here before you, joined the Japan Bethesda Association in 2003. Bethel Christ Church moved to its current location in December 2012. It’s a relatively young church compared to others, having been established in 1993. Bethel Christ Church, with its 47 members, is part of God’s Family Christian Churches. Pastor Makoto Yokoya leads the congregation. He shares his ministry with Junko Aihara and Hideko Kaneko. They offer a welcoming space for those seeking a spiritual home in Osaka. So, next time you’re in Nishi-Nari, know that Bethel Christ Church is here, a beacon of faith in this bustling city.
