Reformed Japan exists to make disciples in Japan — patiently, faithfully, and in partnership with Japanese pastors. We are confessionally Reformed, sending-church-rooted, and committed to the long obedience of gospel ministry.
We confess the historic Reformed faith as summarised in three sixteenth- and seventeenth-century documents — together called the Three Forms of Unity. Every teaching, trip, and partnership we undertake stands inside this confession.
A pastoral catechism of 129 questions and answers, arranged in 52 Lord's Days. Written under Elector Frederick III to teach the comfort of belonging — body and soul, in life and in death — to a faithful Saviour Jesus Christ.
Drafted by Guido de Brès as a confession of faith for the persecuted Reformed churches of the Netherlands. Thirty-seven articles set forth the Reformed understanding of God, Scripture, Christ, the Church, and the sacraments.
An international Reformed response to the Arminian Remonstrance. Five heads of doctrine articulate God's sovereign grace in salvation — what later generations summarised under the acronym TULIP.
We are not a parachurch. The work in Japan flows from a specific congregation, accountable to a federation of confessing churches, in fellowship with the broader Reformed and Presbyterian world.
A council of confessionally Reformed and Presbyterian denominations in North America who recognise one another's ministry, share a common confession, and pursue cooperation in mission.
A federation of churches within NAPARC that subscribes to the Three Forms of Unity, governed by the Church Order of Dort.
Our sending congregation in Escondido, California — the local body that calls, sends, and prays for the work in Japan.
