The Hanmaum Korean Presbyterian Church of Williamsport is located next to Lycoming Centre Presbyterian Church in Cogan Station, PA
      

 

  

       The Korean Church of Williamsport was established on February 28, 1988, by The Reverend David M. Lee.  It was the prayer and dream of these faithful Korean Christians to establish a church in the Williamsport area where they could communicate with each other in their own language.  They wanted to have a place where they could grow in their faith and be able to invite their Korean friends and neighbors to worship the Lord Jesus Christ with them.

 

     In 1991, the Synod of the Trinity introduced the congregation to Reverend Kwang Hoon Cha who provided pastoral leadership for the fledgling congregation until November 2000. 

 

     It was during this time that the Lycoming -Centre Presbyterian Church, located in Hepburnville,PA, invited the congregation to locate in a newly purchased building that had been the home of the local Grange.  As a mission project, the Lycoming-Center congregation remodeled the Grange building.  The result of their hard work is a spacious room for worship and a large downstairs for fellowship gatherings with a kitchen.

     In April 2002, the congregation called the Reverend Nam Gill Roh, an ordained PCUSA minister, to be their pastor.  Reverend Roh was a Korean born pastor who had moved to the Williamsport area.  The Presbytery of Northumberland received him into the membership of the Presbytery and voted to provide financial assistance to the congregation that would enable him to be their full-time pastor.

     In June 2003, the congregation voted to petition the Presbytery of Northumberland to come under its care as a fellowship of believers. It presently has 31 members.

In 2005, the Presbytery voted to make the Korean Fellowship a New Church Development and is under the care of an Administrative Commission for the purpose of charting the congregation once it is ready to create their own session.

 

  

     The congregation meets for worship every Sunday in the church-owned grange building located next to Lycoming-Centre Presbyterian Church, in Hepburnville, PA.  If you were to visit this fellowship of believers, you would find a congregation excited about their faith in Jesus Christ.  You would hear a great music program with powerful hymns and church anthems.  You would experience a church that is on the cutting edge technology providing Power Point presentations for congregational singing, and simultaneous English interpretation for those who do not speak fluent Korean.
