01 / INTRODUCTION

LDI GLOBAL CHURCH was planted according to the teaching of Scripture. The apostle Paul set the pattern: he bore witness to the gospel in each region, made disciples, and planted churches. The Great Commission of Jesus Christ extends into this work of planting churches.

On that biblical foundation, LDI GLOBAL CHURCH has been built up through evangelism and nurture. As in the history recorded in the book of Acts, the church is growing steadily toward one goal: to be a church that raises up workers who will carry the evangelization of our nation and of the world.

LDI GLOBAL CHURCH was planted by a pastor of the General Assembly of Presbyterian Church in Korea (Hapdong), and it currently serves as a congregation that has not yet organized a session.

02 / HISTORY & SERVANTS

The road so far

  1. On Sep 10, 2005, twelve pastors, brothers, and sisters who had come together through the work of LDI planted LDI GLOBAL CHURCH. (At its planting the church was named Fruit-Bearing Church; it was renamed in Jan 2025.)

  2. Through the Lord's abundant grace, the church has since grown to some 300 members who attend regularly. Many of them professed faith in Christ and joined the church through evangelism and nurture, and they keep growing through ongoing discipleship training.

  3. More than 80 percent of our members share the gospel regularly — a mission community full of life.

03 / VISION

Vision and calling

LDI GLOBAL CHURCH carries a vision and a calling that reach beyond the evangelization of our own area, to raise up workers for the evangelization of our nation and of the world.

We will keep on with mission work centered on university students and young adults, and give ourselves still more fully to raising up workers who can carry the calling God has entrusted to the Korean church in this generation. And to fulfill the cultural mandate God has given us, we will train specialists in every field — politics, law, medicine, education, public administration, the arts, and more — so as to advance the good of society, and through them we will keep raising up professionals for ministry (Visionaries).

  5. 05May missionaries all over the world, their families, and all our fellow workers be filled with the Holy Spirit and make disciples!
  6. 06May our members be filled with the Holy Spirit each day and become fishers of men, disciples who bear fruit, salt and light in the world, exercising a good influence through global leadership!
  7. 07In the second semester of 2026, may we be filled with the Holy Spirit and, on every campus and in every workplace, hold to the goal that “true revival begins with me,” so that workers who harvest and reproduce may be raised up in swarms and the evangelization of our campuses, our workplaces, our nation, and the world may swiftly come!
