Onnuri Community Church's Ecclesiology

and Pastoral Philosophy



Why does the world today stay the same

despite the great number of churches,

seminaries, and pastors?

It is probably because those churches

are not like the Early Church

in the Book of Acts.



"As I lead Onnuri Community Church, I keep these questions in mind: What made up the true church in Acts, which was intended and shown by the Lord to be full of life? What made the church a real church?

The very church!

The very church intended and revealed by Jesus in Acts!

An Acts-like church!

This is my vision and this is the vision of Onnuri Community Church.

The Book of Acts is not finished, yet."



- These and many more heartfelt words from Pastor Yong-jo Ha convey The Dream of an Acts-like Church.



"The Dream of an Acts-like Church"

in relation to Onnuri Community Church,

Duranno, and CGNTV



Thirty-three years ago in 1984, 12 families with a passion for the Gospel came together and started Onnuri Community Church. They dreamed of becoming a church that was illustrated in the Book of Acts 2,000 years ago. This dream led to planting more than eight campus churches in South Korea including the Seobinggo main campus, and more than 25 vision churches in the US, China, Oceania, and Japan, and to sending over 1,200 missionaries to 59 countries.



Onnuri Community Church along with Duranno and CGNTV inspires Christians and pastors to dream of an Acts-like church, introducing influential global Christian leaders such as Pastor Bill Hybels and Pastor Jim Cymbala to Korean Christians, and spreading powerful

waves of the Holy Spirit in Japan through Love Sonata.



Ten characteristics of an Acts-like church:

1. A community filled with the Holy Spirit

2. A community that follows the footsteps of Jesus

3. A community that experiences miracles every day

4. A community that spreads the Gospel even in suffering

5. A community that pursues holiness, purity and honesty

6. A community that builds lay leaders

7. A community that dies for Christ

8. A community that embraces foreigners

9. A community that spreads the Gospel to the ends of the earth

10. A community that continues to write Acts 29
