Who we are

Vision Statement

As God so loved us first through Jesus Christ, using Toronto as a foundation, we will 1) Worship God,

2) Love each other,

3) Starting with the Japanese people, preach the good news of Christ to all the nations.

4) Pray all people be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth about the one and only God. (1 Timothy 2:4-5)

Mission Statement

1) Worship God

Being filled with the blessing of salvation, we wholeheartedly participate in worship service. Using both Japanese and English, we worship as one heart. With the time we are afforded, we pour out our affection, our abilities, use our physical gifts, and attend to worship with joy. We read the Bible, pray, connect with God everyday and worship Him at any time, place, and through all we do.

2) Love each other

Being created by God, we esteem each and everyone. We help others grow spiritually, help in times of need, and pray for each other. By substantiating prayer meetings and Bible studies (small groups), we strengthen our bonds with each other. We are to love children and be good examples to them.

3) Starting with the Japanese people, preach the good news of Christ to all the nations

We welcome Japanese people, Japanese-Canadians, those who are in international marriages, and those who come with interest. By imparting the Gospel to those who intend to return to Japan such as exchange students and temporary residents, we become a bridge of blessing to Japan. Through Sunday school we teach the meaning of faith to children. We pray and support the bridging ministry of Kodomoen between the church and the community. Whether at home, school, or work, no matter where we are, we spread the joy of salvation to people and live lives that exemplifies God’s glory.

4) Pray all people be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth about the one and only God

5) Pray that the Lord will give us a new pastor and a self‐supporting church at His good time, and therefore do good preparation to make it a reality

This Toronto based church was planted in 1996 through the gathering of Japanese people. We are provided this place to carry out our mission of worshiping God with joy, love for one other, and beginning with Japanese people, proclaim to the world the wonderful news of salvation. We are imperfect people. As such, we continue to grow by standing firm to the truth of God’s word, the Bible. Through this, we can overcome the sins of this world. Our hope is that by first loving our families, we can build up positive relationships with others, and through good works can establish a peaceful society.

私たちは、トロントを拠点に、

5) いつか主が、次期牧師を与え、自主教会を建て上げてくださることを祈り、そのために準備する

この教会は、1996年、トロントにおいて日本人が集まって始められました。私たちの使命は与えられたこの場所で、喜びを持って神を礼拝し、互いに愛し合い、全世界に向けられたこの素晴らしい救いを、日本人をはじめとするあらゆる人々に宣べ伝えることです。私たちは完璧な人間ではありません。それゆえに、日々、神の言葉である聖書の真理に立って成長することを願い、また心がけております。そして、この世にあって、罪に打ち勝ち、まず身近な家族を愛することからはじめ、人々とよい関係を築き上げ、よい働きをなすことで、平和な社会をつくり出していきたいと願っています。

Grace Toronto Japanese Church History

Grace Toronto Japanese Church has had the 10th anniversary celebration worship service June 2006. The journey of Pastor Masato Murai and his wife, Harumi Murai, thus far is as follows:

1981 They started Boston life; Masato was a seminary student and both of them got calling to serve the Japanese living overseas.

1983 They started Toronto life and stayed here since. They served a local Japanese Church for 8 years.

1992 They looked for opportunities of outreaching among the Japanese here in Toronto.

2005 Grace Toronto Japanese Church became independent from the English church and started renting the present church facilities.

2009 Grace Toronto Japanese Church had established and launched their web-site.

Masato & Harumi are parents of 5 adult children (2 are married). Their hope is to make their “family of God” grow. They see their resident city, Toronto, as a hub that attract all world-wide nations and believe that their Japanese culture can be a magnet of the larger Family of God, as its motto is “peace and family”.
