TOKYO MULTICULTURAL CHURCH
TMC is a Christ centered, Bible based, disciple making church that celebrates God’s grace and truth within the increasing cultural diversity of Tokyo, the world’s largest megacity.In 2013 Dale & Ann launched TMC in their apartment complex. They now serve in-person when in Tokyo three times a year and remotely when based in Maine. Dale oversees TMC by recruiting and encouraging younger pastors/missionaries who handle most pastoral responsibilities. He leads Leadership Team meetings each month and Members’ Meetings three times a year. Ann meets with and encourages members and attenders, especially when in Japan but also remotely. Their goal is to turn over all aspects of TMC leadership. They also provide a financial subsidy for helping establish TMC through the funds they raise.
THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION
For 23 years through Dec 2024, Dale was adjunct faculty at Japan Bible Seminary in Tokyo where he lectured part-time in systematic theology (in Japanese). As a result he hopes to publish a book in Japanese on Contemporary Theology.He is also currently working on writing a book on Church Planting Theology based on his academic papers, articles, and one seminary course on thinking theologically about church planting.
