Onnuri Community Church (sometimes stylized OnNuRi Community Church, abbreviated OCC, also called Onnuri, Onnuri Church, and Onnuri Presbyterian Church) is a local church in Seoul, South Korea that was founded by Yong Jo Hah, the church's senior pastor.[1] The main church building and administration housing cost millions of dollars to build[2] and are located in Yongsan District.[3] Onnuri is one of approximately 25 megachurches in Korea, and is an emerging church, engaging in postmodern modes of evangelism, organizational structure, and leadership.[4] The church was founded in 1986.[5] Onnuri took on much of Handong Global University's debt in the mid-1990s when the university was experiencing financial distress.[6] Onnuri is one of Korea's largest Presbyterian churches.[7] Onnuri occupies five different church buildings spread out over Seoul, encompassing congregations speaking ten different languages.[8] Onnuri English Ministry, spread out over three different church buildings, is the largest English-language Presbyterian ministry in Korea, employing seven part-time pastors and four full-time pastors.[9] The church's first evangelism conference was held in 2003.[5] By 2006, 46,000 adults were registered church members, 41,500 of which were in regular attendance of Sunday church services.[10]
