The Presbyterian Church of Korea (PCK Hapdong; moderator: Rev. Jeon Gye-heon), opened its 103rd General Assembly at 2 p.m. on September 10, at Promise Christian Center (Banyaweol Church) in Daegu, and appointed Rev. Lee Seung-hui (Daegu Promise Christian Center, left) as its new moderator.

1,447 of the 1,592 delegates representing 155 presbyteries nationwide participated in the assembly. In his sermon at the opening worship service, former Moderator Jeon Gye-heon said, “God has intervened each time our denomination has been in difficulty… Like the theme of our 103rd Assembly, ‘Make a change,’ the Korean church should take the initiative for change, and embrace peace and hope in the world.”
