About Lights Church
About the background, features and vision of Lights Church✨
Japan's first online church, born out of our prayers in the UK and Japan.
People living in Japan and overseas can now easily join our joyful online gatherings from any location via smartphone, tablet, or computer🎉
Greetings from Our Pastor
Welcome to Lights Church.✨ Thank you for visiting our online church. My name is Kengoro Goto (後藤 献五郎), the pastor of Lights Church. I am excited to start our new church together. I am looking forward to meeting you in our joyful online meetings. I join from the UK and others from different parts of the world using ZOOM. Let's build up our Lights Church together.✨
Online Meetings
Currently we meet twice a month on Fridays, from 20:00 - 21:00 (Japan Time) for our popular online gathering, "Prayer Marathon for Japan." Each time, we pray for each Japan's prefecture after learning its mission history and current situation. As we pray and cooperate in action, we will be able to grow and share God's love with those who have not known Jesus yet.
Our next Prayer Marathon will be held on Friday, 16th Jan 2026, 20:00–21:00 (Japan Time). You’re warmly invited to join us via your computer or smartphone✨
