In the past, the elders of Sanohara used their houses as places of prayer, but after the war, this became too cramped to accomodate everyone. In 1950, a temporary church was built, and in 1963, a full church was built. It's unknown when, but this church soon became an itinerant church of Tainora Church.


<Note>
Churches are very important places of prayer for their followers. When observing churches, please follow proper etiquette such that everyone can feel comfortable in the churches. A guide for church etiquette can be found here.
