One of the characteristics of Christian schools in Japan is that most members of these schools are categorized as non-Christians, and yet most of those schools have school worship services held by these same non-Christians. This means that "a Christian worship service of non-Christians, by non-Christians, and for non-Christians" is popular, and the service is recognized as an essential part of quality Christian education. The traditional and still popular tone of discussions on the nature of worship services at Christian Schools is to distinguish these school services from those of churches; school services, which are not recognized as "genuine" services, are held primarily to draw students into Christian churches. This is one of the reasons why Christian schools in Japan are often called "mission schools", and this understanding of school services is still strongly rooted in this missionary perspective. On the other hand, there are some who claim that school worship services are indispensable to being a Christian school, because Christianity simply cannot be Christianity without worship. Communion ecclesiology teaches us to recognize the Church as the communion, and in this communion, Christian schools can be embraced as part of the Church. The Church's mission is the actualization of communion, something that certainly appears at Christian schools. Christian schools are not merely equals of the church. More importantly, they are in communion with the Church, an essential part of the Body of Christ. In this understanding of Christian schools, school worship services have a special meaning and a distinctive role in the life of the greater Church. That is, it is at the school service where the school recognizes and comes into communion with the Church through worship, which is in communion with the sacrament of the Church. While the school service does indeed express the communion in each school, it is also critical to recognize that the school service expresses communion with the greater Church. In this way, school worship services are no less an essential part of the life of the Church. Christian schools are also the Church.
