Can a church be both ancient and modern? Here at the 真イエス教会 (True Jesus Church) in Osaka, that paradox comes alive. The True Jesus Church, established in 1917, traces its roots to the Pentecostal movement in Beijing. This church, right here in Osaka, is a testament to the global reach of faith. The True Jesus Church isn’t just a building. It’s a living connection to a unique blend of Christian beliefs. The church emphasizes practices like baptism by full immersion, speaking in tongues, and footwashing. They observe the Sabbath on Saturday and believe in the importance of the Holy Spirit’s power. The True Jesus Church in Osaka is part of a global community. It has a presence in over sixty countries. In Japan, the church’s growth has been marked by challenges and resilience. After World War II, Japanese members returning from Taiwan helped establish congregations across Japan, including this one in Osaka. In 1955, the True Jesus Church found a home here in Osaka. Just a few years later, in 1957, after the third evangelical service, the foundation for the Japanese Coordination board was laid. This evolved into the Japanese General Assembly in 1970. The True Jesus Church blends Chinese origins with a global outlook and a vibrant Japanese presence. It’s a story of faith crossing borders and finding a home right here in Osaka.
