Through ministries of Christian Academy in Japan and the Christian Reformed Japan Mission, we equip students to impact the world for Christ and empower Christian leaders and organizations to close the rhetoric/reality gap.

  • Our purpose is to glorify God.
  • God is a Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • All people are sinners and need salvation.
  • Jesus, fully God and man, died for our sins, rose from the dead, is in heaven, and is coming again.
  • We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus.
  • The Bible is God’s Word.
  • Christians are part of the Church and should obey God’s Word.
  • God gives parents the primary responsibility to educate their children.
