Cross Church Yokosuka /クロスチャーチ

A family of believers in Yokosuka, grounded in God's Word and called to love deeply and give freely./横須賀にある、神の御言葉に根ざし、深く愛し、惜しみなく与えるよう召された信者の家族。

Welcome

Cross Church Yokosuka is a bilingual church family where believers from every background gather around God's Word, worship together, and grow as lifelong disciples of Jesus. We love this church — the way Japanese and English voices rise together on a Sunday, the friendships that form across cultures, the steady rhythm of being grounded in Scripture week after week.

クロスチャーチ横須賀は、あらゆる背景を持つ信徒たちが神の御言葉のもとに集い、共に礼拝し、イエスの生涯にわたる弟子として成長していくバイリンガルの教会家族です。私たちは、この教会が大好きです。日曜日に日本語と英語の声が共に響き渡る様子、文化の壁を越えて築かれる友情、そして毎週、聖書に根ざして歩む着実なリズム――これらすべてが私たちの喜びです。

What to Expect

We're glad you're here. When you walk in, a greeter at the door will hand you a bulletin and ask if it's your first time with us — if it is, they'll give you a guest card to fill out. We use it to keep a record of your visit and to send you one short welcome email later in the week. That's it — one email, and we won't add you to any distribution lists.

ご来訪いただき、ありがとうございます。ご入場の際、入り口の係員が会報をお渡しし、初めてのご来訪かどうかをお伺いします。初めての場合は、ご記入いただくゲストカードをお渡しします。このカードは、ご来訪の記録として活用するとともに、その週の後半に簡単な歓迎メールを1通お送りするために使用します。それだけです。メールは1通のみであり、その他のメーリングリストには登録いたしません。

Our service begins at 10:15 with a welcome and announcements from the pastors, followed by a moment of silence, a Scripture reading, prayer, and the weekly catechism question. The worship team then leads us in three songs — you're free to stand, sit, or raise your hands, whatever feels right. Around 10:40 there's a short break: a chance to greet one another and for parents to bring children 8 and under to the children's center. The sermon follows at 10:50 and runs through about 11:35 — grounded in Scripture, its purpose is to proclaim and explain what the Bible says. Announcements, the Scripture reading, and the sermon are all delivered through consecutive interpreting in both English and Japanese.

礼拝は午前10時15分に始まります。まず牧師による歓迎のあいさつとお知らせがあり、その後、黙祷、聖書朗読、祈り、そして週ごとのカテキズムの問答を行います。続いて、賛美チームのリードで3曲の賛美をささげます。立って歌っても、座ったままでも、手を挙げても構いません。ご自身が心地よいと感じる形でご参加ください。 10時40分頃には短い休憩があり、お互いにあいさつを交わしたり、8歳以下のお子さまを子どもクラスへお送りいただけます。その後、10時50分頃から説教が始まり、11時35分頃まで続きます。説教は聖書に基づき、神様のみことばをわかりやすく説明し、その意味を伝えることを目的としています。お知らせ、聖書朗読、説教は、英語と日本語の逐次通訳で行われます。
