[edit] Church Beginnings
In March 2001, the Rising Sun School opened in Fujisawa, Japan [1] with a Christian focus on teaching English. After several years of offering bible classes and building a congregation, an official church was licensed in July 2006.
[edit] Church Growth
In 2008, the term "Bible" was added to the church name to distinguish it from other denominational churches. The congregation has evolved into a mix of residents from the Kanagawa Prefecture area and numerous international families.
