First Japanese Baptist Church History

The Sacramento Japanese First Baptist Church was established in November of 1920 by Reverend Kiichi Hijikata along with six others. The church was originally called Seisho Gakuen (Bible Institute) and was located at 1530 Fifth Street. In 1922 the name was changed to the Sacramento Japanese First Baptist Church after Reverend Kiichi Hijikata went back to Japan and the Reverend H.Y. Shibata took over the congregation.

As the church grew in popularity they branched out and started a Woman's Society, a kindergarten school, a chapter for the Boy Scouts and opened up branches in Mayhew and Woodland. By July of 1932 the Baptist Church had a membership of over 90 people. During the internment the church housed many families' belongings and after the war housed many people who had lost their homes. The Baptist Church was relocated after the Capital Mall redevelopment plan forced it to move to its present location at 2900 29th Avenue.
