At the end of March 2020, Kevin and Kaori Laverman, currently leading Kosugi Chapel, moved into Kosugi Joy House. The Lavermans had been working in church planting (starting new churches) mainly in the Mizonokuchi area of Takatsu Ward, Kawasaki City for about 20 years. We had a heart desire to start a new church in the Musashi Kosugi area, too. Immediately after their move to Kosugi, the covid-19 pandemic began. Since no new church gatherings or ministries could be begun during that period, we focused instead on using Zoom for Sunday Worship services and Bible studies, walking and praying for the community, and preparing for future post-covid work to begin. In April 2024, the Lavermans launched Kosugi Chapel with such programs as “Joyful Kids Choir” (kids gospel), “Joyful English Cafe,” and a small group Bible Study. We have many ideas for the future to be a church that serves the needs of our community. Through this activity, we hope to build connection with many people and share the great joy of the gospel seen at the cross of Jesus Christ, and the great love and grace of God’s blessing and work in our lives. We look forward to seeing God’s family grow as we gather together as a church for fellowship, worship, and prayer for God’s direction our future.
