We have a contemporary worship style. We are a church of Small Groups. We are Purpose Driven and part of the Southern Baptist Convention by being a member of the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention.
Some History...
The History of TBC begins in 1957, when the Japan Baptist Mission asked Pastor William “Dub” Jackson to plant the first English-language Baptist church outside of the United States. With his wife Doris, they met with 27 people who agreed and offered “total commitment” to build the church, praying it would be used by the Lord to be a part of a city, nation, and world revival. Tokyo Baptist Church worship services began in 1957. Through the sacrificial giving of the founding members of TBC, the current property was purchased, and the building was built in October, 1959. The current congregation has grown from just a few believers to almost one thousand in membership today.
