We believe God has called us to start in Seoul, at the center of all the action, in a city that is home to around 10 million people, 40 universities, and headquarters to global companies like Samsung and Hyundai. Within Seoul, we’re starting our gatherings in the Hongdae/Mapo area.  

We meet regularly on Sundays for community gatherings, with plans to launch a service later this year. Community gatherings are when we hear the word and sing worship songs, encourage each other and talk about life, grow together, and pray for one another. We’re also growing our teams and setting the foundation needed to start  regular services. 

If you want to be part of our church family and share our vision for Korea, join the adventure, spread the word, and help us during this season of planting! 

Our current gatherings and preachings by our lead pastor, Woolim Ma, are mainly in English. But our heart is for the next-generation Koreans and our aim is to work towards serving both English and Korean speakers. If you’re Korean and looking for an English-speaking church to belong to and to help grow, come and check us out!   

Korea is home to some of the largest churches in the world. And while it experienced unprecedented growth and is a major missionary sending country—second only to the United States—the Korean church has experienced a decline in the last 25 years, with 70% of 20- to 30-year-olds claiming to have no religious affiliation.  Korean society is also filled with pressure and social expectations that add to the discontent of many younger Koreans. 

We feel that there is a massive opportunity for both non-Christians and “once-Christians” to discover a new kind of faith, one filled with joy, hope, life, and favor! We believe that Korea is yearning for a new relationship with Jesus, the Jesus that wants them “live life and life in full.”(John 10:10). 

There are many ways to partner with us in this exciting season:

1. Pray – We need to touch this in the supernatural before we witness God’s move in the natural. Pray for people to come to Sunday gatherings. Pray for leaders to rise up. Pray for the Korean people we encounter and for their hearts to be reached. Pray for the Ma family, that the Lord will protect them, equip them, and provide for them in every way.
   
2. Give – We need resources. The cost of living in Korea is similar to first-world countries in the West. We don’t want to just survive, but we want to thrive. If God grows this church, we want to have means to rent a bigger venue, hire staff, buy equipment, train new leaders, etc. We believe that God will miraculously provide and that he does that through his people. 
3. Share – Follow us on social media and share our posts! It’s a simple way to help us get the word out and to reach the younger generation where they are at!
