¡°For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the water covers the sea.(Habakkuk 2:14)

The Great Commission of reaching the good news to every corner of the earth? was left to the church as Jesus rose to heaven promising his second coming. The primary reason for the church to exist is its mission, which is the intensive Great Commandment of Jesus, Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.(Matthew 28:19~20)

With this in mind, Grace Korean Church was found in May 1982 with three families. Three years later, the church congregation grew to be about 1,000 members with an annual budget of $1,500,000. With the help of the Holy Spirit and Pastor Kim passionate prayer for world missions, the growth of this church and its expansion of missions made an epoch in Korean American church history and was enough to draw attention from the entire American Christendom.

Appropriating 50% of the church budget for missions, Pastor David Kim declared Grace Korean Church as a world mission church. By the fifth year anniversary in 1987, the church budget exceeded two million dollars. Consequently, more than a million dollars was given to world missions. Through such enormous expenditures on world missions, Grace Korean Church considered itself church existing for mission?which has been rare in the immigrant church history.

Under the slogan of, Mission is Prayer. Mission is War. Mission is Martyrdom,? Grace Korean Church has committed to each mission field and commissioned missionaries through earnest prayers. The first missionary sent from Grace Korean Church was Missionary Hwang to Guam in July 1982. Since then, Grace Korean Church has dispatched many missionaries around the world, mainly to Africa, South America, China, and to past Soviet Union territories. As of 2004, Grace Korean Church has sent out 141 missionaries who successfully carry out the Great Commission of Jesus in 36 countries.

Grace Korean Church will continually investigate every God given resource to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ by supporting mission fields and sending missionaries throughout the world. May the Lord Jesus be exalted as the church steadfastly dedicate in spreading the Gospel to every nation on the earth!
