Presbyterian Church in Korea (DongShin)

The Presbyterian Church in Korea (DongShin) was founded in 1972 as a result of a split in the Presbyterian Church in Korea (DokNoHoe). Two groups in the DokNoHpe opposed each other under the leadership of Kim Chang-Gil and Chung Dae-Shin. The DaeShin grew, but suffered further divisions. Bang-Bo Shin and GaeHyukJeongTong, and Presbyterian Church in Korea (BoSu) also separated. DongShin become a small denomination largely in and around Seoul. The Apostles Creed and Westminster Confession are the generally accepted standards. In 2004 there was 5,264 members and 56 congregations.
