“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,
so that you also may have fellowship with us.
And our fellowship is with the Father
and with His Son, ” (1 John 1: 3).
Who We Are
The Bridge Fellowship is a Protestant, Gospel-centered, Reformed church plant in Tokyo. We are a diverse church family reflecting a global Gospel within a monoculture.
Our Vision
We long to see people from every nation centered on the Gospel of grace—integrating faith, work, and art—to show mercy and justice for the good of Tokyo, Japan, and the world to God's glory (Revelation 7:9–10; Jeremiah 29:7; Micah 6:8).
Our Story
What started in 2017 as home Bible studies & Bridge Live events for musicians and professionals has grown into The Bridge Fellowship. Today, we are a diverse community for English-speaking expats and Japanese locals across Tokyo, using English as a bridge to connect people to each other and the Gospel.

We are affiliated with City to City Asia Pacific, a partner of Resound Asia Pacific, and a member church of Acts 29 Asia Pacific—a global movement of church-planting churches.
