United Japanese Christian Church

About this church

United Japanese Christian Church is a congregation affiliated with both the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ, at 136 North Villa Avenue in Clovis, California. Sunday worship is at 10:30 a.m., with in-person and online options and an archive of past livestreams and messages. The church was formed in 1990 when two congregations, a Japanese Congregational church and a Methodist church that both served Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans, merged. The name reflects that history, and the church describes itself as multicultural and multigenerational with a focus on families.

Programs include Sunday School for birth through sixth grade, a youth group for grades 7 through 12, a young adult group for college students and early-career adults, and a Japanese-language group that holds a monthly Bible study and hymn singing. Seniors can join Tomodachi events and a Monday Mah Jongg gathering from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Service teams include a Community Care Team that partners with local organizations, Friend's Care, which prepares Japanese home-cooked meals for seniors, and Lay Visitation for homebound neighbors. A Nihongo Kids' Club teaches Japanese language and culture. The church phone is 559-322-0701, and times should be confirmed on the website.
