 About Athens Korean Presbyterian Church 
 The Athens Korean Presbyterian Church ( AKPC ) has been serving Koreans and Korean - Americans in Athens , Georgia area since 1983 . A few Christian Korean students attending at the University of Georgia made a Korean Bible study group as there was no known such a group in town . Soon after then , Covenant Presbyterian Church in Athens , Georgia became a sponsoring congregation for the Bible study group which presently is the Athens Korean Presbyterian Church . In 1999 , AKPC purchased a land in Athens , GA , with a loan through the General Assembly hoping that the Church of God will be built on that land one day . With the prayers , truly sacrificial contributions of many brothers and sisters , grateful helps from Presbyterian Church USA and many others , all of which sorely led by our great God , our church construction could eventually be begun in August , 2007 , and beautifully completed in April , 2008 . 
 As of spring 2008 , membership of AKPC stands at 150 with an average Sunday attendance of 120 . AKPC has Sunday worship service , Wednesday night worship service , and Morning Prayer ’ s meeting at 6 AM everyday ( except for Mondays ) . AKPC also values and fosters the cell group gatherings . Currently there are six cell groups , meeting every week for several hours mostly on Friday or Saturday night for Bible study and prayer meeting as well as sharing their lives together . AKPC also has established and supported the Athens Korean Language School which has been very successful and is open to the public with no religious discrimination . 
 The mission of AKPC is to extend the kingdom of God and be a God ’ s church that creates and nurtures peace and happiness of Jesus Christ in our everyday lives . We try to make our congregation a community with open arms and open minds focusing on Korean and Korean - American students and residents , by providing them with a spiritual , graceful and culturally comfortable church environment and programs . 
 Toward our goals , AKPC has made a lot of efforts in reaching the non - Christian Koreans through the proclamation of the gospel by means of nurturing them throughout worship , education , and Christian stewardship in our society . The church serves as a vital place for student and permanent residents originally from Korea . Many members of our church returned to Korea and kept their Christian faith which they began and disciplined through our church . They are now serving as elders , deacons , or active members in many Korean churches as well as the churches in the US . In particular , five alumni of the AKPC are currently serving as pastor in Korea and the US . Central to the vision of AKPC is the evangelization of students , not only to expand the Christian population , but also to generate many Christian leaders influencing Korea and the Korean Society in the US .
