Mustard Seed Network churches are…

GOSPEL-CENTERED
Mustard Seed Network churches strive to proclaim the good news of the person and work of Jesus and apply it to every aspect of life. Mustard Seed Network churches put a great emphasis on Biblical, expository preaching in warm, welcoming, worship services.  

DISCIPLES MAKING DISCIPLES
Mustard Seed Network churches encourage and equip their members to grow in their own discipleship as well as a life of disciple-making of others. Church members grow in these areas in Christian community through church small groups. 

DIVERSE
While the majority of worshipers at these churches are Japanese, Mustard Seed Network churches are comprised of people from all over the world. Because these churches have been planted in globalized cities, people from Japan, China, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Mexico, and the United States have been baptized at these churches.
