Overview

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Korea (Hapdong) is the largest confessional Presbyterian body in South Korea, formed in 1959 in the Hapdong ("united") separation from Korean Presbyterian bodies that had joined the World Council of Churches. The Hapdong Assembly subscribes to the Westminster Confession and Catechisms, ordains only men, and trains its ministers principally at Chongshin University and Theological Seminary in Seoul. AskCredo places Hapdong in the A-tier as a broadly Reformed Presbyterian body that has preserved biblical authority and confessional Presbyterianism through the twentieth-century ecumenical controversies.
