- Joe Stroud To my knowledge there is no English-speaking church in Matsuyama. However,
there is an English mass held at the Matsuyama Catholic Church [(089)-921-1849] on Sunday afternoons at 12:30. The church is located in the center of the city, about two blocks west of the Central Post Office. There are
also two churches which have American missionaries. One is the West Baptist Church (089-922-1513), which is across the road from Matsuyama West High School. The missionaries there are Bob and Claudia Sherer. The other church is the Matsuyama Yamagoe Church (089-925-2429), which is adjacent to the Ehime University Track and Field facilities. The missionaries there are Joe and Keiko Stroud (United Methodist).There is also a new church in Shigenobu (a suburb) called the Ehime Megumi Church, located near the Ehime University Hospital. The missionaries are Swiss, but they speak excellent English. The telephone number is (089)964-4208, and the missionaries are Thomas and Karen Mueller.

We are very eager and willing to help meet the needs of people who want to have spiritual input in English. Though we do not have worship service in English, there is always interpretation available (I write my notes in English, so I can copy them off, or my wife (a graduate of Prairie Bible Institute) can interpret). Let us know if we can be of assistance.
