Vision
1. Why are we moving into the main sanctuary?
This is about much more than changing rooms. Moving EC into the main sanctuary expresses visibly that the English-speaking congregation is not a peripheral ministry or separate department, but a central part of Sarang Community Church. The space we worship in should reflect the One Church identity we are seeking to build.
2. Why is this move happening now?
We believe Sarang has reached an important moment in its history. Our children have grown, our congregation has become increasingly multi-generational and multicultural, and we believe there is a limited window of opportunity to build a church where future generations can belong, lead, worship, and make disciples without having to leave the spiritual home that formed them.
3. What is the long-term vision for EC in the main sanctuary?
The vision is for EC to grow into a vibrant, mature, disciple-making congregation that is fully part of Sarang Community Church, and not a temporary English department. We hope the main sanctuary will increasingly become a spiritual home for second- and third-generation Korean Americans, multicultural families, and neighbors from many backgrounds.
4. Who is the lead pastor of Sarang EC?
Beginning with the new worship structure, the Senior Pastor will take direct pastoral responsibility for shepherding, teaching, and preaching within Sarang EC. Other EC pastors and ministry leaders will continue to serve alongside him.
5. Is this move primarily about accommodating growth, or are there other reasons?
No. Growth may be one consideration, but the deeper reason is theological and missional. We are seeking to build one church with a shared identity, ministry philosophy, discipleship process, ministry of the Word, education, and mission. After all, the gospel is all about reconciling the world to Him and to each other. We believe this vision of One Church is a natural outcome of the power and the beauty of the gospel working within and through us.
6. Is this a permanent move, or could we relocate again?
The move reflects a long-term vision rather than a temporary scheduling solution. At the same time, church facilities and schedules may always need to adapt as ministries grow and circumstances change. The commitment is ultimately to the vision, not simply to a particular room.
7. Will our worship services remain entirely in English?
Yes, Sarang EC is the English-speaking Congregation, and its primary worship language will remain English. The One Church Vision does not require every congregation to worship in the same language.
8. Is there a plan eventually to combine the English and Korean congregations?
The goal is integration, not homogenization. KC and EC will share one church identity, vision, discipleship philosophy, and mission while continuing to minister meaningfully in their respective languages. There may be special opportunities for united worship and ministry, but the current vision is not simply to merge every Sunday service into one bilingual service. Unity does not mean uniformity.
9. Will the Korean and English congregations actually interact more, or just pass each other in the hallway?
The goal is genuine integration, not merely sharing a campus. Over time, we want to create more opportunities for shared ministry, service, leadership, mission, prayer, fellowship, and intergenerational relationships. Some of these opportunities will develop gradually rather than all at once. We currently have joint missional, educational, and ministerial opportunities in many facets of church life.
10. Will EC still have the freedom to develop its own ministries, outreach initiatives, and community?
Yes. One Church does not mean every ministry must look identical. EC should continue developing ministries that faithfully reach and disciple the people God has entrusted to it, while operating within the shared vision and ministry philosophy of Sarang Community Church. Some ministries will parallel, some will overlap, some will simply be unique to either KC or EC spaces.
11. How will our relationship with the Korean-speaking congregation change?
We hope the relationship will move increasingly from coexistence toward partnership. KC and EC will remain distinct in language and some ministry expressions, but we want to share responsibility for the future of one church and learn to see one another as essential members of the same body.
12. Will EC have a voice in decisions that affect its ministry?
Absolutely. A genuine One Church model requires English-speaking pastors, leaders, families, and members to participate meaningfully in conversations about the ministries that affect them.
13. Does moving into the main sanctuary mean EC matters more, or that it’s being absorbed?
Neither. EC has always mattered because its people are part of the body of Christ and part of Sarang. The move is intended to express belonging and shared ownership, not absorption or loss of identity.
14. What aspects of EC’s current ministry culture will remain unchanged?
We want to preserve the relationships, hospitality, authentic community, English-language ministry, worship, Oikos life, and missional energy that have made EC meaningful. Integration should strengthen those qualities, not erase them.
15. What do church leaders hope EC will look like in three to five years?
We hope to see a thriving, increasingly multi-generational and multicultural congregation deeply rooted in Scripture, worship, discipleship, Oikos community, evangelism, and service. We also hope to see EC members increasingly carrying responsibility and leadership for the future of the whole church.
16. How can members contribute to making this transition successful?
Pray, remain gracious during the period of adjustment, welcome unfamiliar faces, serve where needs arise, communicate concerns constructively, and resist the temptation to divide into “us” and “them.” The One Church Vision will ultimately succeed not because of schedules or buildings, but because God's people choose to love one another and build His church together.
17. What should we do if the new arrangement isn't working well?
We should say so—graciously, honestly, and constructively. Leadership should evaluate what is working and what is not, listen carefully to the congregation, and make appropriate adjustments without abandoning the larger vision simply because implementation requires refinement.
18. How can we pray for and spiritually prepare for this new chapter?
Pray for unity, humility, patience, courage, and love. Pray that God would remove fear and protect us from division; that KC and EC would increasingly see one another as one body; that the next generation would find a true spiritual home here; and that through this transition many people who do not yet know Jesus would hear the gospel and become His disciples. We will also be distributing Prayer Points for the entire congregation.

1. Will our worship service times change?
Yes, our Sunday worship and ministry times will need to be adjusted as EC moves into the main sanctuary. Instead of worshiping at our current times, we will gather altogether at 11 AM as a covenant people of God.
2. Will the worship style, music, or service format change?
English-speaking worship should not be reliant on a particular style, as there are many English-speaking PCA churches with other styles of worship. The move itself is not intended to make EC worship simply imitate KC worship. The goal is biblically faithful, Christ-centered worship that serves the English-speaking congregation while reflecting our shared identity as Sarang. We are convicted that all music is given to humanity as a gift and a tool to enjoy Him and to glorify Him. Hence, we will make honest and thoughtful attempts to incorporate various types of music, while staying true to our theological convictions about Presbyterian form of worship, all the while tapping into our spiritual heritage.
3. Will we continue to have the same pastors preaching?
There will be a change in preaching leadership because the Senior Pastor will take direct responsibility for regularly preaching and shepherding EC. Other pastors will continue to preach and teach as part of the pastoral team.
4. Will our worship team continue leading services?
Yes, the gifts and service of EC worship leaders remain important. The EC worship team will continue to play an important role in leading the English-speaking congregation in worship. The move to the main sanctuary is not intended to eliminate the worship culture and gifts that have developed within EC.
5. Will we be expected to follow the Korean congregation's worship practices?
Please see #2.

“준비된 미래”는 한어 회중과 영어 회중 모두가 자신의 문화와 언어를 통해 복음을 듣고, 제자로 세워질 수 있도록 하는데 그 중요한 뜻이 있습니다. 그래서 영어 회중이 영어로 집중된 예배 환경에서 전심으로 예배할 수 있도록 한국어 자막을 별도로 제공할 계획은 없습니다만, EC 예배에 참여하거나 설교를 듣기 원하는 한어권 성도들을 위해 한국어 동시통역이 제공될 예정입니다. 모든 성도들이 EC 예배에 보다 편안하게 참여할 수 있도록 예배안내위원의 안내를 받으시면 됩니다.
7. 예배 시간과 부수가 변경되면서, 혹시 예배 순서나 형식에도 변화가 생기나요?

Ministries
1. How will the church preserve the relationships and sense of belonging we've developed?
It will not only be preserved but fostered and matured by intentionally protecting and fortifying the things that make community possible: Oikos, fellowship, shared meals, pastoral care, serving together, and time spent together. Moving spaces should not mean starting relationships over again; the goal is to carry those relationships into a larger shared future.
2. How can we ensure that EC doesn't become overlooked within the larger church?
The very purpose of this transition is to move in the opposite direction. EC is being brought more intentionally into the center of the church's pastoral vision, leadership, discipleship, and future planning. That commitment must also be reflected in representation, communication, resources, and ongoing listening.
3. What is happening to the praise team?
The EC worship team will continue to play an important role in leading the English-speaking congregation in worship. The move to the main sanctuary is not intended to eliminate the worship culture and gifts that have developed within EC.
4. Will EC continue to have its own ministry budget?
There are no changes to the way the EC budget is handled. Under the One Church Vision, budgeting should reflect both shared churchwide priorities and the legitimate ministry needs of EC.
5. What opportunities will the move create for outreach, evangelism, and welcoming new families?
The main sanctuary gives EC greater visibility and a clearer identity within Sarang. More importantly, a strong English-speaking congregation can become a spiritual home for second- and third-generation Korean Americans, multicultural families, and neighbors who may never enter a Korean-language worship service but are searching for Christ and community.
6. How will English congregation members communicate concerns or suggestions to church leadership?
EC members should continue communicating through their pastors and ministry leaders, and we should establish clear opportunities for feedback during the transition. You are free to reach out to your parish pastors or Oikos leaders any time before, during, or after the shift.
7. 지금까지 2부 예배시간에는 봉사하고 3부에 예배를 드렸는데, 예배시간 변경으로 3부 시간대가 비게 되었습니다. 그 시간에는 무엇을 하면 좋을까요?
이번 변화는 단순히 한 시간의 일정이 비게 되는 것이 아니라, 우리가 한 교회를 함께 세워갈 수 있는 새로운 섬김의 기회가 될 수 있습니다. 교회에서는 3부 시간대에 참여할 수 있는 다양한 봉사와 사역 기회를 안내할 예정입니다. 제공되는 3부 봉사 리스트를 참고하여, 각자의 은사와 상황에 맞는 자리에서 함께 교회를 섬겨 주시는 새로운 기쁨을 누리실 수 있기를 바랍니다. 특히 새로운 예배 구조가 잘 정착되기 위해서는 환영, 안내, 주차, 다음세대, 시설, 새가족 섬김 등 여러 영역에서 KC 성도들의 따뜻한 동역이 중요합니다. One Church는 단순히 KC와 EC가 같은 건물을 사용하는 것을 의미하지 않습니다. 서로를 위해 자리를 내어주고, 서로의 사역을 함께 세우며, 교회의 미래를 함께 책임지는 것이 One Church의 중요한 모습입니다. 3부 시간대가 바로 그러한 섬김을 실천할 수 있는 특별한 기회가 되기를 기대합니다.
8. 주차봉사에는 변동이 있나요?
Will there be changes to the parking ministry?
당분간 주일 1부부터 4부까지 본당 주차봉사는 기존 KC 주차팀이 계속 담당할 예정입니다. 새로운 예배 구조가 정착되는 과정에서 필요한 사항들을 살펴보며 향후 봉사 인력과 운영방식은 조정될 수 있습니다. 장기적으로는 KC와 EC가 함께 교회를 섬기는 방향으로 봉사의 기회도 점차 넓혀가고자 합니다.
For the time being, the existing KC Parking Ministry Team will continue overseeing parking for all four Sunday services at the Main Campus.As the new worship schedule settles in, we will continue evaluating staffing and operational needs. Over time, we hope to create additional opportunities for KC and EC members to serve together in this ministry as one church.
9. 주방봉사에는 변동이 있나요?
Will there be changes to kitchen volunteer service?
주방봉사는 현재와 같이 매주 본당 3개 다락방과 KDC 3개 다락방이 함께 섬기게 됩니다. 봉사시간은 토요일 오전, 주일 2부 시간, 주일 3부 시간으로 운영됩니다. 앞으로는 EC Oikos 소그룹도 주방봉사 순번에 함께 참여하게 됩니다. 이번 변화는 KC와 EC가 공간뿐 아니라 섬김의 책임도 함께 나누며 한 교회를 함께 세워가는 과정의 일부입니다.
Kitchen ministry will continue with three small groups serving at the Main Campus and three small groups serving at KDC each weekend. Service times will include Saturday morning, the 2nd-service time, and the 3rd-service time. EC Oikos groups will also begin participating in the kitchen-service rotation.This is one practical way KC and EC can increasingly share not only our church space, but also the responsibility and joy of serving together as one church.

Sunday Experience
1. Where do we park?
We encourage seniors, families with strollers, and new visitors to park on the main lot next to the main sanctuary. KDC (Kingdom Dream Center) parking lot with continuously running shuttle to the main sanctuary will be available with ample space to park. A detailed parking plan will be communicated before the transition, including recommended lots and entrances for EC families, volunteers, and guests.
2. 주차는 어떻게 되나요?
How will parking be affected?
지금까지와 마찬가지로 본당 주차장은 새가족, 노약자, 그리고 영유아를 동반한 가정을 위해 우선적으로 배려해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.가능하신 성도님들께서는 KDC에 주차하신 후 셔틀을 이용해 주시기를 적극 권장드립니다. 새로운 예배시간이 정착되는 과정에서 모든 성도들이 서로를 배려하며 주차공간을 함께 나누어 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
As before, we ask that parking at the Main Campus be prioritized for new visitors, seniors, and families with infants or young children.Those who are able are strongly encouraged to park at KDC and use the shuttle service. As we adjust to the new Sunday schedule, we ask everyone to help by sharing our parking resources considerately as one church family.
3. Where and when do we eat?
We recognize that sharing food and fellowship has been an important part of EC community life. Fellowship lunch is available for all both at the main site as well as KDC between 10:40 AM and 12:40 PM.
주일 점심식사는 현재와 같이 본당과 KDC에서 모두 제공됩니다. 배식은 2부 예배 후부터 3부 예배 후까지, 오전 10:20부터 오후 12:40까지 진행될 예정입니다.
4. Where will EC members gather for fellowship after service?
We recognize that pre- and post-service fellowship is essential to EC community life, so providing an accessible gathering space is a significant part of church life. Vision Plaza is a wonderful place to gather for a coffee and conversation immediately after the service. Both the back lot and KDC dining area continue to serve as precious spaces for fellowship after service.
5. Will we still have a dedicated space for coffee, refreshments, and community?
The intention should be to preserve meaningful opportunities for hospitality and community rather than allowing Sunday worship to become simply “come in and leave.” Please see above.
6. 교회 소셜미디어와 YouTube 채널은 어떻게 되나요?
How will church social media and YouTube channels be affected?
당분간 KC와 EC의 소셜미디어 및 YouTube 채널은 각각 별도로 운영될 예정입니다. 다만 KC와 EC를 함께 아우르는 통합 웹사이트가 곧 새롭게 오픈될 예정입니다.장기적으로는 각 언어권의 필요와 특성을 존중하면서도, 남가주사랑의교회가 하나의 교회라는 정체성이 더욱 분명하게 전달될 수 있도록 커뮤니케이션 채널들을 지속적으로 정비해 나갈 예정입니다.
Initially, KC and EC social media and YouTube channels will continue to operate separately. On the other hand, a new integrated website serving both KC and EC will be introduced as we move into this new season. Over time, we will continue developing our communication platforms so that they serve the distinct needs of each congregation while more clearly expressing our shared identity as one Sarang Community Church.
We encourage seniors, families with strollers, and new visitors to park on the main lot next to the main sanctuary.

지금까지와 마찬가지로 본당 주차장은 새가족, 노약자, 그리고 영유아를 동반한 가정을 위해 우선적으로 배려해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.가능하신 성도님들께서는 KDC에 주차하신 후 셔틀을 이용해 주시기를 적극 권장드립니다. 새로운 예배시간이 정착되는 과정에서 모든 성도들이 서로를 배려하며 주차공간을 함께 나누어 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
As before, we ask that parking at the Main Campus be prioritized for new visitors, seniors, and families with infants or young children.Those who are able are strongly encouraged to park at KDC and use the shuttle service. As we adjust to the new Sunday schedule, we ask everyone to help by sharing our parking resources considerately as one church family.
3. Where and when do we eat?
We recognize that sharing food and fellowship has been an important part of EC community life. Fellowship lunch is available for all both at the main site as well as KDC between 10:40 AM and 12:40 PM.
주일 점심식사는 현재와 같이 본당과 KDC에서 모두 제공됩니다. 배식은 2부 예배 후부터 3부 예배 후까지, 오전 10:20부터 오후 12:40까지 진행될 예정입니다.
4. Where will EC members gather for fellowship after service?
We recognize that pre- and post-service fellowship is essential to EC community life, so providing an accessible gathering space is a significant part of church life. Vision Plaza is a wonderful place to gather for a coffee and conversation immediately after the service. Both the back lot and KDC dining area continue to serve as precious spaces for fellowship after service.
5. Will we still have a dedicated space for coffee, refreshments, and community?
The intention should be to preserve meaningful opportunities for hospitality and community rather than allowing Sunday worship to become simply “come in and leave.” Please see above.
6. 교회 소셜미디어와 YouTube 채널은 어떻게 되나요?
How will church social media and YouTube channels be affected?
당분간 KC와 EC의 소셜미디어 및 YouTube 채널은 각각 별도로 운영될 예정입니다. 다만 KC와 EC를 함께 아우르는 통합 웹사이트가 곧 새롭게 오픈될 예정입니다.장기적으로는 각 언어권의 필요와 특성을 존중하면서도, 남가주사랑의교회가 하나의 교회라는 정체성이 더욱 분명하게 전달될 수 있도록 커뮤니케이션 채널들을 지속적으로 정비해 나갈 예정입니다.
Initially, KC and EC social media and YouTube channels will continue to operate separately. On the other hand, a new integrated website serving both KC and EC will be introduced as we move into this new season. Over time, we will continue developing our communication platforms so that they serve the distinct needs of each congregation while more clearly expressing our shared identity as one Sarang Community Church.
Children
1. When are the education services?
Next generation worship and education programming schedules are being coordinated alongside the changes to EC worship times. Simply put, we offer educational programming for children and youth of all ages during 2nd, 3rd, and 4th service time slots. Please refer to the Next Generation Education page for the Sunday schedule for each age group.
2. How will the church ensure children's safety during the transition?
Children's safety must remain a non-negotiable priority throughout the transition. All the security measures that include parental check-ins and adult supervision remain unchanged, but we are adding resources to security measures such as advanced CCTVs, an added security team, and greater presence of adult leaders on site.
[영아부 / Infants]
Q1. EC 3부 예배시간에 영아부 예배가 있나요? KDC 영아부처럼 보육만 제공되나요?
Will there be an Infant Worship Service during the EC 3rd service, or only childcare?
네. 3부에는 영아부 예배가 제공됩니다. 단순한 보육이 아니라 아이들의 연령에 맞는 예배와 말씀교육이 진행됩니다. 설교와 전체 예배는 영어를 중심으로 진행하지만, 분반 활동에서는 아이들과 가정의 언어적 필요에 따라 한국어와 영어를 함께 사용할 수 있습니다.이는 아이들이 어느 언어권 예배에 참여하든 동일한 복음 안에서 예배하고 자라도록 돕기 위한 One Church 교육철학의 일부입니다.
Yes. Infant worship will be provided during the 3rd service. It will be more than just childcare; children will participate in age-appropriate worship and biblical teaching. The main worship and sermon will primarily be in English, while small group activities may be offered in Korean or English depending on the language needs of the children and families.This reflects our One Church commitment to helping every child grow in the same gospel, regardless of the primary language of the service they attend.
[유아부 / Toddlers]
Q1. EC 3부 유아부 예배는 어떤 언어로 진행되나요?
What language will the Toddler ministry use during the EC 3rd service?
3부 예배는 영어를 중심으로 진행됩니다. 다만 분반 활동에서는 아이들의 필요와 교사 상황에 따라 한국어가 함께 사용될 수 있습니다. 중요한 것은 언어가 달라도 아이들이 배우는 복음과 제자훈련의 방향은 동일하다는 것입니다. KC와 EC 교육부가 서로 다른 교회처럼 운영되는 것이 아니라, 하나의 다음세대 사역 안에서 언어에 맞게 섬기는 구조를 만들어가고 있습니다.
The 3rd service will primarily be conducted in English. Korean may also be used during small groups depending on the needs of the children and the availability of teachers.While the language may differ, the gospel and discipleship direction remain the same. Our goal is not to operate KC and EC children's ministries as separate churches, but to serve one next generation within one shared ministry vision.
Q2. EC 3부와 KC 2부·4부의 커리큘럼은 동일한가요?
Is the curriculum the same for EC 3rd service and KC 2nd & 4th services?
네, 동일합니다. 모든 예배에서 같은 성경 본문과 동일한 핵심 설교 내용을 배우게 됩니다. 2부와 4부는 한국어로, 3부는 영어로 진행되며, Gospel Seed 역시 2부와 4부는 한국어로, 3부는 영어로 제공됩니다.이것이 One Church 교육의 중요한 원칙입니다. 언어는 다를 수 있지만 우리가 가르치는 복음과 제자훈련의 내용은 하나입니다.
Yes. The curriculum will be the same across all services. Children will learn from the same Bible passages and receive the same core biblical teaching.The 2nd and 4th services will be conducted in Korean, while the 3rd service will be in English. Gospel Seed will likewise be provided in Korean for the 2nd and 4th services and in English for the 3rd service.This reflects an important One Church principle: our languages may differ, but the gospel and discipleship vision we pass on to our children are one.
Q3. 2부, 3부, 4부의 예배 순서와 형식은 동일한가요?
Will the worship order and format be the same for all three services?
네. 기본적으로 모든 예배는 동일한 흐름을 따라 진행됩니다.찬양으로 시작하여 헌금과 기도, 설교, 주기도문으로 예배를 마친 후 분반 활동을 진행합니다.예배언어는 다르지만 아이들이 어디에서 예배하든 남가주사랑의교회의 동일한 예배와 말씀의 흐름을 경험하도록 하는 것이 목표입니다.
Yes. All three services will generally follow the same worship order and format. Each service will begin with praise, followed by offering and prayer, a sermon, and the Lord's Prayer. Children will then participate in small group activities. Although the primary language differs, our goal is for children in every service to experience the same overall rhythm of worship and biblical formation as one church.
Q4. 교사와 같은 반 친구들이 바뀌나요?
Will my child's teachers and classmates change?
모든 교육부에서 기존 교사와 친구들이 계속 함께할 수 있도록 준비하고 있습니다. 다만 교사들의 예배시간과 EC 3부 예배 신설, 그리고 일부 가정의 예배시간 변경에 따라 교사나 반 구성에 일부 변화가 생길 수 있습니다. 변화가 필요한 경우에도 단순히 행정적인 편의를 위해 아이들을 이동시키기보다, 아이들이 안정적으로 관계를 유지하고 건강하게 신앙 안에서 성장할 수 있도록 하는 것을 우선적으로 고려하고 있습니다.
We are making every effort to keep children with their current teachers and classmates. In some cases, there may be some changes because of teachers' worship schedules, the addition of the EC 3rd service, and families choosing different worship times. When adjustments are necessary, our priority will not simply be administrative convenience, but helping children maintain healthy relationships and continue growing spiritually within one church family.
Q5. 아이를 EC와 KC 예배에 모두 보내도 되나요?
Can my child attend both EC and KC services?
네. 각 가정의 상황과 필요에 따라 두 예배에 모두 참석할 수 있습니다. 다만 두 예배에서 배우는 성경 본문과 핵심 설교 내용은 동일하고, 가장 큰 차이는 사용되는 언어라는 점을 참고해 주시기 바랍니다. 아이들의 가장 우선적 제자훈련 담당자는 부모라는 점을 기억하며, 아이들이 말씀과 진리 안에서 계속 성장하도록 모든 부서가 동일한 노력을 기울이고 있습니다.
Yes. Children may attend both EC and KC services depending on their family's needs and circumstances. Please keep in mind that the Bible passages and core teaching will be the same, with the primary difference being the language of instruction.Understanding that parents are the primary disciplemakers of our children, we are making every effort to ensure that all department is equally committed to helping our kids mature in the Word and Truth.
Q6. PTA 임원진도 바뀌나요?
Will there be changes to the PTA leadership?
아니요. 기존 PTA 임원진은 그대로 유지됩니다. 또한 EC와 KC 학부모 모두 구분 없이 PTA를 통해 함께 섬길 수 있습니다. 오히려 이번 변화가 언어권을 넘어 부모들이 함께 다음세대를 세우는 기회가 되기를 기대합니다.
No. The current PTA leadership will remain in place. Both EC and KC parents may serve together as PTA leaders. We hope this transition will create even greater opportunities for parents across language groups to work together in raising the next generation of our church.
[유치부 / Kinder]
Q1. 샤론 합창단을 계속 운영하나요?
Will Sharon Choir continue?
네. 샤론 합창단은 계속 운영됩니다. 본당 유치부와 KDC Kinder가 통합됨에 따라, KDC Kinder 학부모님들께도 샤론 합창단의 비전과 활동을 안내하고 함께 참여할 수 있도록 할 예정입니다.우리 교회는 제자훈련에 힘쓰는 교회이며, 샤론 합창단은 교육부에서 어린아이들이 경험하는 초기 제자훈련의 중요한 형태입니다. 아이들이 공교육을 시작하는 시기에 예배와 섬김을 통해 건강한 기독교 정체성을 세워가는 것은 매우 중요합니다.이번 통합을 통해 KC와 EC 가정의 아이들이 같은 교회의 다음세대로서 함께 예배하고 섬기는 경험을 더욱 풍성하게 만들어가고자 합니다.
Yes. Sharon Choir will continue. As the Main Campus Kinder and KDC Kinder ministries come together, we will introduce KDC Kinder families to the vision and activities of Sharon Choir and invite them to participate. Our church is deeply committed to discipleship, and Sharon Choir represents one of the earliest forms of discipleship formation within our Children's Ministry. As children begin their public-school years, this ministry can play an important role in helping them develop a strong and healthy Christian identity.Through this transition, we hope children from both KC and EC families will increasingly experience worship and service together as one next generation of Sarang Community Church.
Q2. 예배는 어떻게 진행되나요?
How will the worship services be conducted?
기본적으로 성인 예배시간과 동일하게 2부 KC → 3부 EC → 4부 KC의 순서로 진행됩니다. 3부 EC 예배는 영어를 중심으로 진행됩니다. 다만 분반 활동은 교사의 상황과 아이들의 필요에 따라 한국어가 일부 사용될 수 있습니다.또한 3부 예배의 전체 시간이 상대적으로 짧기 때문에 일부 예배 순서나 활동 구성은 2부와 4부와 조금 다르게 운영될 수 있습니다.그러나 예배시간과 언어가 달라도 아이들에게 동일한 복음과 제자훈련의 방향을 제공한다는 원칙은 변하지 않습니다.
The services will generally follow the adult worship schedule: 2nd service KC, 3rd service EC, and 4th service KC. The EC 3rd service will primarily be conducted in English. Some Korean may be used in small groups depending on teacher availability and children's needs. Because the 3rd service has a slightly shorter timeframe, there may also be slight differences in the order of worship or activities.However, regardless of service time or language, our commitment remains the same: every child will be formed by the same gospel and shared discipleship vision.
Q3. 반배정이 다시 되나요?
Will children be reassigned to different classes?
가능한 한 기존 반배정을 유지하여 아이들의 관계와 안정성이 이어지도록 할 계획입니다. 다만 가정의 필요에 따라 다른 예배시간으로 이동하는 경우에는 불가피하게 반배정이 변경될 수 있습니다. 필요한 조정이 있을 때에도 아이들의 영적 성장과 관계적 안정을 우선적으로 고려하겠습니다.
We plan to keep current class assignments as consistent as possible so that children can maintain relational stability.However, if a family changes service times, some class reassignment may become necessary.When changes are needed, the spiritual growth and relational well-being of the children will remain our priority.
Q4. 섬기는 선생님들은 그대로 계시나요?
Will the teachers remain the same?
기존 선생님들은 계속 유치부를 섬기게 됩니다.다만 예배가 추가되고 부서가 통합됨에 따라 선생님들이 예배시간별로 이동하거나 재배치될 수 있습니다. 어린이 수에 비해 교사가 부족한 경우에는 추가 교사를 모집할 수도 있습니다.이번 변화는 기존 교사들을 나누는 것이 아니라, 한 교육부 안에서 더 많은 아이들을 함께 돌보기 위해 우리의 인적 자원을 나누고 협력하는 과정입니다.
Current teachers will continue serving in the Kinder Ministry.However, as services are added and ministries are integrated, some teachers may be reassigned among service times. Additional teachers may also be recruited if more volunteers are needed to care well for the number of children.The goal is not to divide our existing teachers, but to share and coordinate our resources so that we can care well for all of our children as one ministry.
Q5. PTA는 어떻게 하나요?
What will happen to the PTA?
기존에 각 부서별로 구성된 PTA는 계속해서 섬기게 되며, 통합 이후에는 더욱 긴밀하게 협력하게 됩니다.우리는 이번 변화가 KC와 EC 부모들이 각자의 자녀만을 생각하는 것을 넘어, 우리 교회 전체의 다음세대를 함께 책임지는 동역자로 서는 기회가 되기를 기대합니다.
The existing PTA teams will continue serving and will collaborate more closely as the ministries come together. We hope this transition will help KC and EC parents increasingly see themselves not only as advocates for their own children, but as partners who share responsibility for the spiritual formation of the entire next generation of our church.
Next generation worship and education programming schedules are being coordinated alongside the changes to EC worship times. Simply put, we offer educational programming for children and youth of all ages during 2nd, 3rd, and 4th service time slots. Please refer to the Next Generation Education page for the Sunday schedule for each age group.
2. How will the church ensure children's safety during the transition?
Children's safety must remain a non-negotiable priority throughout the transition. All the security measures that include parental check-ins and adult supervision remain unchanged, but we are adding resources to security measures such as advanced CCTVs, an added security team, and greater presence of adult leaders on site.

2부 또는 4부 예배에 참여하는 학생들은 어떻게 하나요?
What happens for students attending the 9:10 AM or 12:45 PM services?
학생들은 각각 자신이 참여하는 영어권 또는 한어권 중·고등부 예배에 참석하고, 해당 부서의 소그룹, 제자훈련, 수련회에 참여하게 됩니다. 언어와 예배시간은 다르지만, 두 트랙 모두 학생들이 예수님의 제자로 성장하도록 돕는 동일한 교회의 사역입니다.
Students will participate in worship, small groups, discipleship training, and retreats through their respective English-track or Korean-track youth ministries. Although the primary language and meeting times differ, both tracks are part of the same church-wide mission of forming students into disciples of Jesus.
3부 예배에 가족과 함께 참석하는 학생들은 어떻게 하나요?
What happens for students attending the 11 AM EC service with their families?
3부 예배시간에는 중학생과 고등학생이 함께 참여하는 새로운 영어권 Youth Ministry가 운영됩니다. 학생들은 부모님과 함께 본당 EC 예배에 참석하는 대신, 같은 시간에 별도의 Youth 예배와 공동체 모임에 참여하게 됩니다.이 사역은 영어를 중심으로 진행되며, 예배와 말씀, 소그룹 교제를 통해 학생들이 자신의 또래 공동체 안에서 복음을 배우고 관계를 형성하며 예수님의 제자로 성장하도록 돕는 것을 목표로 합니다. 중학생과 고등학생이 하나의 사역 안에서 함께 예배하지만, 연령과 성장 단계에 맞는 돌봄과 소그룹 운영이 이루어질 수 있도록 준비해 나갈 예정입니다. 또한 학생들은 필요와 선호에 따라 기존 영어권 또는 한어권 중·고등부에서 제공하는 제자훈련과 수련회에도 참여할 수 있습니다. 이는 학생들을 언어에 따라 서로 다른 교회로 나누기 위한 것이 아니라, 한 교회 안에서 각 학생이 가장 건강하게 성장할 수 있는 다양한 제자훈련의 길을 제공하기 위한 것입니다.
A new English-speaking Youth Ministry will be offered during the 3rd service (EC service) for both junior high and high school students.Students will have a dedicated youth worship and community gathering at the same time.The ministry will be conducted primarily in English and will include worship, biblical teaching, and small-group community designed to help students grow in the gospel, build meaningful relationships with their peers, and mature as disciples of Jesus. Although junior high and high school students will worship together within one ministry, we will structure pastoral care and small groups in ways that are appropriate to their different ages and stages of development. Students may also participate in discipleship training and retreats offered through the existing English-track or Korean-track youth ministries based on their needs and preferences. The goal is not to divide students by language, but to provide multiple pathways within one church so that each student can grow faithfully as a disciple of Jesus.
Q. 교육부를 섬기는 청소년들이 많은데, 3부 시간에도 학생들을 영적으로 돌볼 수 있는 Youth Ministry가 생길 수 있나요?
Since many youth serve in the Education Department, could there eventually be a Youth Ministry during the EC 3rd service?
네, 위의 답변을 참조하시기 바랍니다.
Yes, please see the answer above.
Q. 3부 Youth 예배가 생긴다면 소그룹도 운영되나요?
If a 3rd-service Youth Ministry is created, will there also be small groups?
네. 3부 Youth Ministry에서도 예배 후 소그룹이 운영됩니다.중학생과 고등학생이 함께 영어로 예배드린 후, 학생들의 연령과 성장 단계에 맞게 소그룹으로 나뉘어 말씀을 나누고 서로의 삶을 돌아보며 함께 기도하는 시간을 갖게 됩니다. 우리 교회가 소그룹을 중요하게 여기는 이유는 예배에서 들은 말씀이 실제 삶과 관계 속에서 적용되고, 학생들이 서로를 격려하며 예수님의 제자로 성장하는 중요한 자리이기 때문입니다.3부 Youth Ministry 역시 단순히 영어 예배 하나를 추가하는 것이 아니라, 예배와 말씀, 공동체와 제자훈련이 함께 이루어지는 건강한 신앙 공동체를 세워가는 것을 목표로 합니다.
Yes. Small groups will be an integral part of the 3rd-service Youth Ministry.Following the English-language worship service, junior high and high school students will gather in age-appropriate small groups where they can discuss the Word, share life together, pray for one another, and grow in their faith.We believe small groups are essential because they provide a place where what students hear in worship can be applied in real life and relationships, while helping them encourage one another and mature as disciples of Jesus.The 3rd-service Youth Ministry is therefore not simply an additional English worship service. Our goal is to build a healthy spiritual community where worship, biblical teaching, relationships, and discipleship come together.
Q. 3부에 가족과 함께 예배하는 학생들은 어떤 제자훈련과 수련회에 참여할 수 있나요?
What discipleship training and retreat options are available to students who worship with their families during the 3rd service?
학생들은 자신의 언어적 선호와 필요에 따라 영어권 또는 한어권 중·고등부의 제자훈련과 수련회에 참여할 수 있습니다. 학생들에게 선택권을 제공하는 이유는 KC와 EC를 서로 경쟁하는 사역으로 보기 때문이 아니라, 두 사역 모두 한 교회가 다음세대를 제자로 세우기 위해 제공하는 자원이기 때문입니다.
Students are welcome to participate in the discipleship programs and retreats offered by either the English-track or Korean-track youth ministries, based on their preference and needs. We offer this flexibility because KC and EC youth ministries are not competing ministries. Both are resources of one church committed to forming the next generation into disciples of Jesus.
Q. 4부 중·고등부 예배는 어떻게 진행되나요?
What should students expect during the 4th service?

학생들은 12:45부터 2:00까지 각 부서의 예배에 참석하고, 이후 2:00부터 2:30까지 소그룹 모임에 참여하게 됩니다.이 구조를 통해 예배와 공동체, 말씀 적용이 서로 연결되어 학생들이 단순히 예배에 참석하는 데 그치지 않고 함께 배우고 나누며 제자로 성장하도록 돕고자 합니다.
Students will attend their respective youth worship services from 12:45–2:00 PM, followed by small groups from 2:00–2:30 PM.The goal is to connect worship, community, and biblical application so that students do more than simply attend a service—they learn, share life, and grow together as disciples.

2부 또는 4부 예배에 참여하는 학생들은 어떻게 하나요?
What happens for students attending the 9:10 AM or 12:45 PM services?
학생들은 각각 자신이 참여하는 영어권 또는 한어권 중·고등부 예배에 참석하고, 해당 부서의 소그룹, 제자훈련, 수련회에 참여하게 됩니다. 언어와 예배시간은 다르지만, 두 트랙 모두 학생들이 예수님의 제자로 성장하도록 돕는 동일한 교회의 사역입니다.
Students will participate in worship, small groups, discipleship training, and retreats through their respective English-track or Korean-track youth ministries. Although the primary language and meeting times differ, both tracks are part of the same church-wide mission of forming students into disciples of Jesus.
3부 예배에 가족과 함께 참석하는 학생들은 어떻게 하나요?
What happens for students attending the 11 AM EC service with their families?
3부 예배시간에는 중학생과 고등학생이 함께 참여하는 새로운 영어권 Youth Ministry가 운영됩니다. 학생들은 부모님과 함께 본당 EC 예배에 참석하는 대신, 같은 시간에 별도의 Youth 예배와 공동체 모임에 참여하게 됩니다.이 사역은 영어를 중심으로 진행되며, 예배와 말씀, 소그룹 교제를 통해 학생들이 자신의 또래 공동체 안에서 복음을 배우고 관계를 형성하며 예수님의 제자로 성장하도록 돕는 것을 목표로 합니다. 중학생과 고등학생이 하나의 사역 안에서 함께 예배하지만, 연령과 성장 단계에 맞는 돌봄과 소그룹 운영이 이루어질 수 있도록 준비해 나갈 예정입니다. 또한 학생들은 필요와 선호에 따라 기존 영어권 또는 한어권 중·고등부에서 제공하는 제자훈련과 수련회에도 참여할 수 있습니다. 이는 학생들을 언어에 따라 서로 다른 교회로 나누기 위한 것이 아니라, 한 교회 안에서 각 학생이 가장 건강하게 성장할 수 있는 다양한 제자훈련의 길을 제공하기 위한 것입니다.
A new English-speaking Youth Ministry will be offered during the 3rd service (EC service) for both junior high and high school students.Students will have a dedicated youth worship and community gathering at the same time.The ministry will be conducted primarily in English and will include worship, biblical teaching, and small-group community designed to help students grow in the gospel, build meaningful relationships with their peers, and mature as disciples of Jesus. Although junior high and high school students will worship together within one ministry, we will structure pastoral care and small groups in ways that are appropriate to their different ages and stages of development. Students may also participate in discipleship training and retreats offered through the existing English-track or Korean-track youth ministries based on their needs and preferences. The goal is not to divide students by language, but to provide multiple pathways within one church so that each student can grow faithfully as a disciple of Jesus.
Q. 교육부를 섬기는 청소년들이 많은데, 3부 시간에도 학생들을 영적으로 돌볼 수 있는 Youth Ministry가 생길 수 있나요?

네, 위의 답변을 참조하시기 바랍니다.
Yes, please see the answer above.

Adults
1. Will Oikos groups remain the same?
Absolutely. Oikos will continue to be an important part of EC discipleship and community life. The larger direction is to align Oikos with the same churchwide discipleship philosophy and pastoral structure while preserving the relationships and community that have already been built. We will be forming new groups as needed as well.
2. Will small groups, Oikos, and Bible studies continue meeting in their current rooms?
Yes, Oikos and Bible study ministries will continue to meet in the same spaces.
3. 현재 사용하고 있는 방의 시간이 예배시간 변경과 겹치게 되었습니다. 방 예약은 어떻게 변경해야 하나요? 같은 방을 다른 시간에 계속 사용할 수 있나요?
방 사용 및 예약 변경은 담당 교역자를 통해 사무처와 조율한 후 승인받으면 가능합니다. KDC와 Blessing Center 등 여러 사용 가능한 장소가 있기 때문에 담당 교역자님을 통해 안내 받으시기 바랍니다. 참고로, 남가주사랑의교회의 공간 배정 우선순위는 기본적으로 제자훈련 및 양육 → 사역팀 활동 → 다락방 및 기타 모임의 순서로 운영됩니다. 제한된 공간을 교회 전체가 함께 사용하는 만큼 특정 부서나 모임이 한 공간을 독점적으로 사용하는 것은 어렵습니다. 담당 교역자와 상의하여 교회 전체의 필요를 함께 고려하면서 가장 적절한 시간과 장소를 조율해 주시기 바랍니다.
4. 순원들이 보통 2부 예배를 드리고 3부 예배시간에 봉사해 왔습니다. 이제 그 시간이 비게 되는데, 주일 3부 시간에 교회에서 다락방 모임을 가져도 되나요?
상황과 공간 여건에 따라 가능할 수 있습니다. 다만 모든 다락방이 3부 시간에 교회 공간을 사용할 수 있다고 보장하기는 어렵기 때문에, 각 다락방은 담당 교역자와 먼저 상의한 후, 교회의 전체 공간 사용 현황과 사역 우선순위에 따라 가능 여부를 조율해 주시기 바랍니다. 이번 변화는 단순히 “기존 3부 시간이 비게 되었다”는 의미가 아니라, KC와 EC가 한 교회로서 공간과 사역을 새롭게 나누는 과정입니다. 따라서 각 다락방의 필요뿐 아니라 교회 전체와 다음 세대를 함께 생각하는 마음으로 새로운 모임 시간과 장소를 찾아가고자 합니다.
