ZENIT Staff

Crossroads of the Nations Japanese Ministry 07.06.2025

Crossroads of the Nations Japanese Ministry (Brentwood, TN 37027)

We are a multi-cultural and multi-congregations church worshiping God in multiple languages. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church In America (PCA). We are blessed that God would give us each other to experience Him through the richness of cultural diversity. Most of the Japanese in Middle Tennessee are here temporarily as business families or researchers. Our vision and goal is to help them see the unconditional love of Christ and hear His living Word. We are here to help their felt needs such as improving English, being a friend, and helping them to adjust. In our time together we also share the Word of God. Our prayer is for their salvation and know we can be a part of their journey if the Lord so grants. It would be great if they join the afternoon Japanese/English Sunday services to familiarize themselves with worship and fellowship. This would make it easier for them to pursue the same in Japan when they return. We can refer them to fellowships in Japan.
