Our Church

맨하탄 선교교회는 2007년에 설립 이후 한국인 유학생들을 중심으로 맨하탄 거리에 매달 전도를 나가고, 매년 국내 (South Dakota Native American Reservations) 와 국외 (몽골, 일본, 온두라스, 코스타리카) 등 단기선교를 통해 교회의 1차 사명인 영혼구원과 제자삼기를 지속해 왔습니다.

1대 개척 목사인 최재원 목사가 몽골과 한국의 젊은이들을 품기 위해 한국으로 돌아가면서 2대 배현석 목사가 맨하탄 선교교회의 담임 목사로 취임하였습니다. 

Since its founding in 2007, Manhattan Mission Church has continued to fulfill its primary mission of saving souls and making disciples through monthly evangelistic outreaches to the streets of Manhattan, centered on Korean international students, and annual short-term missions to South Dakota Native American Reservations and overseas (Mongolia, Japan, Honduras, Costa Rica).

As the first pioneer pastor, Jae Won Choi, returned to Korea to embrace the youth of Mongolia and Korea, the second pastor, Hyun Seok Bae, took over as the senior pastor of Manhattan Mission Church.

Throughout its history, New York City has been a major point of entry for immigrants. In 2005, nearly 170 languages were spoken in the city and 36% of its population was foreign born. English remains the most widely spoken language, and New York is the largest city in the English-speaking world. Demographers estimate that New York’s region population will reach 30 million by 2030.

As a city minister, many times I have observed the peoples’ trials, suffering, needs and desires. The people are individually excellent, expert and intellectual people. However, many of them suffer from feelings of guilt and inferiority deep inside. In this competitive city, they must know the love of God, His forgiveness, His patience, and His unconditional love.

People need the love of God. Manhattan Mission Church is welcoming you to come and be a part of our family. International Mission (IM) is waiting for you. Take part in God’s love and our love for you!
