INTRODUCTION OF THE CHURCH
Welcome to Crows Nest Japanese Christian Church!
Our church is a Protestant Baptist Christian church on the North Shore of Sydney. We are a traditional christian church and believe in the triune God, "God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit" and offer worship services every Sunday. Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us.
Sunday service is a message in Japanese by a Japanese pastor (English and Korean translations are available). A church school is also held to share the gospel with children. We also have Bible study groups and cell groups where we study together, pray together, and have fun fellowships.
Those who come to church are from all walks of life, including Japanese residents in Sydney, singles and married couples, a variety of nationalities, and many children, making it a vibrant church with a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
If you don't understand the meaning of life, if you are searching for the truth, if you are troubled, if you are interested in Jesus Christ, meet Him and your life will change! Church is the starting point to hear God's love letter, the Bible, and receive the blessings He has promised. Please feel free to come and visit us. We are sincerely looking forward to meeting you.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
PASTOR'S INTRODUCTION AND GREETING
Pastor Hiromitsu Hiidome
Born August 1958. Home prefecture: Kagoshima
A pastor who enjoys humor.
In the past, I really disliked the thing called "religion" and thought that it made people worse. Every time there I saw a religious conflict or incident happening in the world, it confirmed my thoughts. I was determined not to be religious, no matter what. As a result, I decided that I would do my best to live my life by my own strength. However, I was paralyzed by my own limitations and would ruminate on the harsh reality of my shortcomings no matter how much I tried to do my best.
After working as an office worker in Japan, I came to Sydney, Australia at the age of 24 to enter the culinary industry. Unfortunately, as stress relief, I began to drink alcohol with friends. Eventually, the amount I drank increased, and I became a person dependent on alcohol. I wasn't sure why, but although I disliked "religion" at the time, I married a Christian woman, accepted her invitation to come to church, and started reading the Bible. It was not until much later that I realized that this was all God leading me in His mercy. I was 40 years old when I was baptized.
I was a person who hated religion, yet I became a Christian. After my baptism, I studied at a seminary in Sydney and became a pastor because I wanted to receive the life-giving love of the person of Jesus Christ, not the “religion” of Christianity. Jesus Christ willingly died on a cross in my place. He took upon Himself the sin of my self-centered life that I had lived without regard for God. On the third day, He defeated death, was resurrected, and gave us eternal life. I believe everyone can experience such renewing transformation only through this kind of real and genuine love.
Will you join us to learn about this love from the Bible? Whoever you are, whatever your background, you are welcome to join us.
