イエス・キリストによる、悔い改め、和解、リバイバルを証しすることが、日米合同教会に託された宣教の使命です。私たちは、イエス・キリストを信じる信仰により生まれ変わり、喜びをもって新しい人生を歩み始める人が一人でも多く与えられますよう、祈りつつ活動しています。
JAUC is becoming a community of Christ inviting and reaching out to Japanese, Japanese Americans and all those related to this context with God's love in discipleship, worship, teaching, service and fellowship.
「疲れた者、重荷を負う者は、だれでもわたしのもとに来なさい。休ませてあげよう。」
マタイによる福音書 11 章 28 節 （新共同約）
JAUC (Japanese American United Church) is the result of a merger of three historic Japanese Christian churches (two Reformed and one Methodist) in the heart of New York City. The earliest of these congregations was founded in 1894 and was dedicated to Japanese seamen settled in Brooklyn.
The merger of the three churches took place formally in September 1953 and we have occupied our present building since 1970. Located in the heart of new York City, the church has a long history of service to the Japanese American community and continues to serve many permanent residents, visitors and new comers from Japan and other parts of the United States.
JAUC is the only bilingual (English and Japanese) church in Manhattan. We serve the Japanese speaking pioneer Issei, English speaking Nisei and Sansei, newly arrived Japanese immigrrants, Japanese college students and other New Yorkers of various ethnic backgrounds who share an affinity with Japanese culture and the Christian community.
