The Korean church stands at a critical juncture. The division between the first-generation and second generation has become a heart-breaking reality in many churches. Our differing opinions have led to divisions and hurts. Many young Korean-Americans abandon the Korean-American church. Many even leave the faith. Those who stay are often too deeply indoctrinated in their Korean-Americanness, unable to influence beyond their culture of comfort and familiarity.
Neither are preferred outcomes here at our church.
Here at We The Redeemed, we want to be a flourishing multi-ethnic ministry that partners with the First-Generation Korean-speaking church to further the ministry of the gospel.
We believe we are better united than divided. We believe we can achieve more together than separately. We believe that the gospel of the most cohesive agent the world has known – it brings men and women together, despite our differences.
We live in a time in which Korean music, drama and entertainment has taken over the world by the storm. It is time for the Korean Church, both the first and second generation, to hold hands together in unity to become the church of global influence that God has called us to be.
"Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called...eager to maintain the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:1-3)
