Leisure World Korean Community Church

On June 6, LW Korean Community Church (LWKCC) with the Rev. Dr. Jang Young Yong, presiding as senior pastor, celebrated its 11th anniversary during Sunday worship. LWKCC was established in February 2010 in Orange County with the purpose of “fulfilling God’s will on the Earth.” In June 2017, it became a nesting church within Community Church in Leisure World. It is a Korean diaspora church.

Pastor Jang Young Yong delivered the sermon “Only the God’s will” for the anniversary service, followed by a short video reviewing the last 11 years. Elder Anna Jun, deacon Won Il Lim and deacon Min Jung Kim were awarded for their contributions. The LWKCC choir lead worship with the song “God’s Church,” written by Doo Wan Kim.

Pianist Jung Kang Han played a special piano performance from the songs “The World that God Created,” “Love Medley” and “Love Always Endures.”

After graduating from Yee Hwa Women’s high school and college, Jung Kang Han received PEO scholarship, then finished her master’s degree at Manhattan School of Music. She taught at Mok Won University and Baptist Seminary as professor. She was awarded by Yee Hwa Women’s high school for her contributions as well. Her husband, Doo Young Jung, is a pastor and composer. He was the first Korean to work as a music professor at UC Davis. He also composed the songs “Corinthian 13” and “Love Always Endures.”

After the anniversary worship service, lunchboxes and 11th anniversary pens were given out, and the entire congregation stood outside to snap a quick photo in front of the church.

LWKCC has weekly Sunday worship services staring at 11:50 a.m., and early morning services starting at 6 on Tuesdays-Saturdays.
