Tokyo Baptist Church is committed to putting the Christ back into Christmas and celebrating the season’s true meaning through the values of peace, joy and hope. Everyone is welcome at their upcoming concerts, with wonderful Christmas songs, dances of praise, the joy of the children’s dance team and a Christmas message that brings the true meaning to the season.

TBC is an international church with members from over 50 nations, including a large group of Japanese—services are in English, and Japanese translations are available. To accommodate a weekly attendance that has grown to over 1,300 people, the church holds five services every weekend, and there’s also a congregation that meets in Misato, Tachikawa, and Ishinomaki every Sunday. Everyone is invited to come and worship at all the services.

TBC’s 16th annual Christmas Gospel Concert promises a fun and festive time for the whole family. This year the gala seasonal showcase features a 100-voice choir, orchestra, drama and dancing. Come and enjoy the message of Christmas, the sights, the sounds, the towering Christmas tree filled with lights and people. Yes, a singing Christmas tree.
