歴史 Church History

Yokosuka Grace Bible Church was started when Pastor Ray and Satomi Mercer moved from Yokohama, where they had ministered as associate pastors in Yokohama Grace Bible Church, to Yokosuka with a goal of planting a new church to reach the Japanese community there.

After meeting with other believers in Yokosuka in small groups for several months, the church was officially launched in December of 2006 with support from several Every Nation Churches in Japan. In January of 2007 the new church began holding regular Sunday meetings in various rented halls in downtown Yokosuka.

In January of 2008 the church rented its first permanent location in Miharu-cho, Yokosuka, a neighborhood located near the local University and conveniently near the main Keikyu train line at Horinouchi Station and Route 16 (an eight minute walk from the station, across from McDonald’s on Route 16).
