Grace Hanin Community Church

What Grace Hanin Community Church does

Grace Hanin Community Church (그레이스한인교회) is a Korean-Canadian evangelical congregation founded in 2003 and headquartered at 9770 King George Blvd, Surrey, British Columbia. The church operates under the Evangelical Free Church of Canada (EFCC) denominational affiliation and serves the Korean-Canadian diaspora in the Greater Vancouver area, with programming segmented across life stages: children's ministry (GRACE KIDS), youth ministry (GRACE YOUTH), young adults (HIS JOY, ABLE, Bridge), adults, and seniors. A parallel English-language ministry operates as Eikon Community Church (eikonchurch.ca), enabling bilingual outreach to multi-ethnic and English-speaking members. The church runs three Sunday worship services (8 AM, 10 AM, 12 PM), a Friday Praise & Prayer Night, and weekday dawn prayer meetings, supported by a cell church structure (Pilgrim Church, Grace Academy) for small-group fellowship.

The organization's core technology is a WordPress-based website (gracehanin.com) with multi-channel digital giving (TD Bank e-transfer, Interac e-Transfer, credit card, offline), live streaming of services, and a member portal at member.gracehanin.org. The church maintains two choir ministries (Hosanna Choir, Grace Choir), a missionary sending program spanning domestic and overseas missions, and a pastoral training initiative called B2B Ministry (청목원) led by Senior Pastor Park Shin-il. Currently, the church is undertaking a major sanctuary construction project (성전건축) in Langley, BC, under the vision 'Built to Worship, Built to Pray, Built to Serve'.

As a nonprofit religious organization, Grace Hanin Community Church generates revenue exclusively through voluntary member donations: tithes (십일조), weekly offerings, and special purpose offerings (e.g., temple construction, missions). The church employs 14 staff and is led by Senior Pastor Park Shin-il and Administrative Director Kim Seong-kwon. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The church has no parent corporation, no external investors, and no venture funding; it operates as an independent member church within the EFCC network. The primary forward-looking strategic initiative is the Langley sanctuary construction project, which represents a significant capital commitment and potential expansion of physical capacity.
