Davis Korean Church

Davis Korean Church is a non-denominational evangelical mission based church. Davis Korean Church was founded by nine UC Davis graduate students in 1982 who began meeting together and eventually established the local church. Though DKC initially focused on the Korean-speaking community (both students and families), it expanded to include a diverse English-speaking group, having their own services and events.

Currently there are 3 pastors on staff: Pastor Joshua Lee (Sr Pastor), Pastor Joshua "J" Lee (English Ministry Pastor), and Pastor Amos Choi (College Ministry Pastor). There are about 210 Korean-speaking adults, 40 Korean-speaking college students, 80 English-speaking adults, 150 English-speaking college students, 60 youth group students and 100 children.
