Korean and English early-morning prayer meets Tuesday through Saturday at 6.
The congregation was established November 2, 1975, and identifies biblical authority, local-church autonomy, believer participation, Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, assurance of salvation, and missions as Baptist distinctives. Children’s ministry emphasizes gospel foundations, biblical literacy, belonging, family discipleship, and community engagement. Youth meet Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday for prayer at 9 a.m., and Sunday at 11; young adults add Friday Bible study and a Sunday small group. Four- to twelve-week formation pathways cover newcomer orientation, discipleship, leadership, house-church shepherding, evangelism, and biblical overview. Public pages do not specify service length, dress, parking, accessibility, nursery check-in, volunteer screening, or livestream timing.
