Identity

Jubilee Presbyterian Church is a community of people -- set apart by God to be His own in Jesus Christ, planted in the Greater Philadelphia area -- which gathers to worship (leiturgia), to experience the family life as God's children (koinonia), and to be equipped (didaskalia) and sent into the world to proclaim grace (kerygma), practice mercy (diakonia) and live justly (dikaioma). 

Vision

We desire to be a Korean-American Reformed Presbyterian church in the 21^st century that is biblically and historically true.

Passion

Proclaiming Grace, Celebrating Freedom

Values

1. Claiming the Past, Open to the Future:

�   We continue the spirit of the 16^th century Reformation that "the Reformed Church is always reforming" according to the unchanging Word of God in the ever changing world.

�   We hold to the Reformed faith summarized and represented in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Creed of the Twelve Articles.

�   We live out the implications of the Presbyterian principles - plurality of leadership, centrality of the Scripture, and openness to learning - in all areas of the church life.

�   We advance the heritage of the Korean Presbyterianism (prayer, repentance, long-suffering, celebration, loyalty, liberation, and displacement) transplanted to North America in the 20^th century as it moves towards the next stage in its history, naturally and inevitably becoming a faith movement more diversified in language, culture, and ethnicity.    

2. Living and Growing in the Spirit:

�   We hold the Word of God as a matter of central importance, and we strive to believe, understand, love and live it.

�   We cherish worship as both a daily personal life of surrender and a weekly communal approach to the throne of God.  

�   We measure growth not by expansion but by transformation.

�   We nurture healthy families by affirming God's design for each home through faithful administration of inter-generational and family ministries.

3. Developing and Utilizing Resources:

�   We endeavor to identify in each other the gifts and personalized callings from God, to sharpen skills and to reinforce Christian worldview so that we may effectively engage the world for God's glory.

�   We believe that a productive life is God's mandate to Christians so that we may live a life of generosity and win respect from the 'outsiders'.

�   We seek to utilize our God-given resources to build our church community stronger. 

4. Building Local/Global Ministry Partnership:

�   We strive to break barriers and to build bridges among all generations and among all peoples, in order to become effective witnesses of Jesus Christ for the neighbors through an incarnational, not intrusive, presence.

�   We collaborate with like-minded ministries both local and global in order to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord (Matthew 28:18-20).
