History:
KPCoW was started in 1979 to serve the immigrant Korean community desiring to worship in the native Korean language. The EM was introduced in 1998 for the children of the KM and for the next generation of Korean-Americans, who are English-educated and primarily English-speaking. The EM has fully blossomed over the years and is now attended by members and visitors both related and not related to the KM. The two groups are distinctly different in our life experiences, in the language we primarily use, and often hold diverging cultural views. But both share the common Korean ancestry and in this common thread, we desire to grow in Christ together as one church. As such, KPCoW’s Session (currently 5 KM and 3 EM Elders) and Deacons consists of both KM and EM members.
