WE WELCOME EVERYONE
We welcome everyone to attend and participate in our Tenrikyo services--both our monthly services and morning and evening services--where we pray to God the Parent for World Salvation. Conducted in both Japanese and English*, the service consists of songs, live music, and dance that remind us that God’s intention of creating human beings was to lead a joyous life with each other on Earth.
The monthly service is performed by fifteen members of the church congregation, while the rest sing along. Each verse of the service reminds us how we can reach the goal one day sooner.
