About the Korean Church of Dallas & Life & Fruit English Ministry

Korean Church of Dallas (KCD), founded in 1966, will joyfully celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2026. As part of the Korean Presbyterian Church Abroad (KPCA), KCD planted Life & Fruit English Ministry (EM) in 2009 with a vision to cultivate a gospel-centered community for the next generation.

Life & Fruit is a warm and growing congregation of around 50 members, with Sunday attendance between 45–60. Our members include college students, singles, young families, and married couples with children.

Our mission is to glorify God by loving God, loving people, and making disciples.

Previous pastors have served as missionaries, and that heart continues to shape who we are.

We are seeking a pastor who loves Christ, loves people, and desires to shepherd and grow with us for the glory of God.
