Irvine New Church

Our church has been planted in the Irvine area for over three years. Most of our members had not known Jesus before coming, but they have come to our church, accepted Him, and been baptized. We are a unique community where Korean people gather, and we use both Korean and English in our services. Children primarily use English, and they continue to gather regularly. We warmly welcome anyone who is interested in or loves Korean culture and people, and who wants to learn more.
