Introduction
 A Message from the Pastor



Greetings!

My name is Rev. Lim Kyung-Jun, and it is my great joy and privilege to serve as the pastor of Mukaishima Christian Church.

I am deeply grateful to God for leading me to this beautiful island of Mukaishima and for the opportunity to walk together with you in faith.

The Bible verse that is at the heart of my ministry in 2026 is:

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
(John 15:5, NIV)

It is my prayer that each one of us will remain in Jesus Christ, the true Vine, and that together we will become a church that bears abundant fruit through God's grace.

A church is not only for those who already have faith. Whether you are visiting a church for the first time, have never read the Bible, or are searching for meaning, hope, and purpose in life, you are warmly welcome here.

It is my heartfelt desire that Mukaishima Christian Church will be a church loved by our local community, sharing God's love and hope with everyone.

I look forward to meeting you.

 Faith  
 Our church believes that the bible is the only canon of our faith.
 We read the Apostle's Creed together in every Sunday service to express our common faith. 
 
"Apostle's Creed"

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
sufferd under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will com again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

 Our church shares a faith that Baptist Churches have.
