The United Holiness Church of Korea elected new leadership and ordained two ministers during its 2026 General Assembly, a two-day gathering held June 29-30 at Miryang Mamin Church in South Gyeongsang Province, the organization announced. The denomination, led by President Rev. Soojin Lee, used the assembly to set its direction for the years ahead around a central message: that evangelism is the most concrete expression of love for souls.
The assembly opened June 29 with a worship service centered on a sermon by Lee, titled “Recognized Before God.” In the address, Lee laid out two conditions for standing recognized before God: spiritual readiness through the power of the Holy Spirit to resist evil, and a sustained sense of calling and conviction. Both, Lee said, ultimately depend on devoted prayer.
Lee pointed to examples of believers committed to evangelism, expressing that divine support follows those who pursue outreach out of genuine concern for others. “Evangelism is the most concrete expression of love for souls,” Lee said. “True power only emerges when love is present, and that love bears fruit in transformed lives.”
Lee closed the sermon by telling attendees that those recognized before God live not for the approval of others but in the love of the Lord, expressed through love for others’ souls, and called on pastors and congregants alike to embody that love and spiritual power.
The assembly’s second session turned to administrative business, including a review of membership credentials, leadership elections, an audit report, and approval of the budget for the denomination’s 36th fiscal year.
The newly elected leadership team includes President Rev. Soojin Lee; Vice Presidents Rev. Mikyung Lee and Elder Johnny Kim; General Secretary Rev. Hakyoung Lim; Secretary Rev. Taegyu Moon; Assistant Secretary Rev. Jinyoung Jung; Treasurer Rev. Miyoung Lee; and Assistant Treasurer Rev. Suyeol Cho.
The gathering concluded June 30 with an ordination ceremony recognizing Rev. Youngin Lee and Rev. Kiyong Sung as newly ordained ministers.
The United Holiness Church of Jesus Christ was established in 1991 and operates through continental-level general assemblies. Beyond Korea, the denomination proclaims the fivefold gospel — regeneration, holiness, divine healing, resurrection, and the second coming — across Africa, Latin America, Russia, and other regions around the world.
