View articles福岡アガペ教会 is a Protestant church located in the Ropponmatsu area of Chuo Ward, Fukuoka. It identifies itself as a member of the あいのひかり教団 union (Olivet Assembly Japan, also known as Nippon Olivet Assembly Kyodan). On its official website and its YouTube channel, Sunday services and weekday gatherings are conducted mainly in Japanese, with messages and worship also delivered in Korean and English, by preachers identified online under names such as Pastor Ruth or Evangelist Judith.
This union, formerly named あいのひかり教団, has been flagged by several Japanese evangelical watchdog sources (including the doctrinal-monitoring site Itan Cult 110ban and an official notice from the Assemblies of God of Japan warning against name confusion) as connected to a movement founded by South Korean pastor Jang Jae-hyung, a lineage that draws reservations from parts of the evangelical world. Efficient Church notes this point for transparency, without settling the debate, and otherwise summarizes on this page a selection of this church's video sermons, each summary linking back to the original video on its YouTube channel.

There are Sundays when you look at your church and wonder what you're even doing there. You're not preaching, you're not leading worship, you're not healing anyone. You come, you sit down, you pray in silence.
