Hi! My name is Eric, I work at a local university in Akita and I've been a part of Akita Bible Baptist Church since 2024. I'll be using this page to give regular updates on the progress of the new church building at ABBC. We are so thankful for all of your prayers and support!

Isn't the church building just used for Sunday services? (Dec 3, 2025)
Isn't the church building just used for Sunday services? (Dec 3, 2025)
Not at all! While of course one of the main purposes of our church building is for Sunday services, it's used for so much more throughout the week. We use it for neighborhood outreach events, providing visiting missionary housing, adult English classes, community support base during emergencies and more. One use I'd like to highlight is that my wife and I use it to hold an English class for elementary school students (英会話教室). This provides a great opportunity to invite Japanese families into the life of the church who might otherwise not be interested, while also helping kids get excited about learning English. This class really wouldn't be possible without the building!

Waiting for legal approval (Dec 3, 2025)
We are currently waiting for legal approval for our blueprints. Once we have a detailed estimate for the new building, we will start sharing some more information on the process. Lord willing, we will tear down the current building in February and then start building in March. During the construction process, we will borrow a local church in the afternoon for our service. Thank you for your prayers!
