Young Nak (YN) Presbyterian Church was founded in Seoul on December 2, 1945 by 1992 Templeton Prize recipient, Kyung-Chik Han. Inaugurated by twenty-seven refugees from Soviet occupied Korea, Young Nak steadily increased in membership as more refugees sought religious freedom below the 38th parallel.〔Just Three More Years to Live! The Story of Rev. Kyung-Chik Han. 2005 p. 126 ISBN 89-5721-439-9〕 On March 24, 1949, ground was broken for a new facility to replace the building and tent that had become too small for the growing congregation.〔Just Three More Years to Live! The Story of Rev. Kyung-Chik Han. 2005 p. 132 ISBN 89-5721-439-9〕 By the time the new church building was completed in May 1950, membership had increased to over 4,000.〔Just Three More Years to Live! The Story of Rev. Kyung-Chik Han. 2005 pgs. 132-133 ISBN 89-5721-439-9 〕 By 1992, when Rev. Han was awarded the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, membership had grown to 60,000 (making it, at that time, the largest Presbyterian congregation in the world), excluding 500 sister churches planted by members of the original congregation.〔(CHRONICLE - New York Times )〕 In 1998, under the auspices of Rev. Han, who at the time was a Pastor Emeritus, Young Nak gained an English language ministry, International Worship in English, which was founded by an American missionary to Korea, Bill Majors. For his efforts, Majors was made an Honorary Citizen of Seoul in 2005.〔(Seoul Metropolitan Government - "A Clean, Attractive & Global City, Seoul!" )〕 Presently the senior pastor of YN is Rev. Chul Shin Lee (1997–present). == References ==
