Carter, Michael & Cathalain

The Carters are fully dedicated to church planting in downtown Nagoya, Japan, alongside a local Japanese church, Shiga Church. Michael has recently joined the Presbyterian Church in Japan as a "Cooperating Pastor," and is the point person for the downtown church plant, working in conjunction with Shiga's pastor, session, and a church plant vision team. The Carters also help facilitate an English outreach program, prayer meetings, Bible studies, a concert series, mini gallery/art’s ministry, and have various responsibilities in the community.

In April 2021 the church plant launched a weekly worship service. Currently, the worship is limited to the vision team who have created a vision for the church and are currently deciding the specifics related to starting the new church. They prayerfully hope to open worship publicly starting in April 2022.
