For where two or three are gathered in my name,
there am I among them.

 

The Upper Room is part of the Korean Central Presbyterian Church (KCPC). KCPC started in 1987 as a few followers of Christ meeting in a park in Cartersville, GA. Over the past three decades, KCPC has grown to be a loving community, providing a safe space to explore our faith and walk with God.

 

Our Mission & Vision

  • To create a community where we help each other to live out our calling: to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God.

  • To cultivate a community that remembers God’s ways and hopes in God’s promises.

  • To build and cultivate a community that welcomes all to Christ's table, knowing we are all made in the image of God.

  • To serve as a radically inclusive community, pursuing God’s invitation to fight for justice, embrace compassion, and humbly explore our faith as we follow the Way of Jesus.

  • To build a community of diverse believers devoted to the Word, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer.

  • To provide a spiritual home where all who enter are welcomed with God’s radical and transformative hospitality.

  • KCPC’s Upper Room is an obedient community - we have the strength to stand on the promises of God and the willingness to leap into God’s future, and the wisdom to know when to do which.

  • We are a progressive and inclusive community of believers, committed to sound Biblical teaching, genuine personal transformation, and to sweeping social justice.

  • We are an open-minded and inclusive community of faith, engaging in meaningful worship, growing together in fellowship, and dedicated to social justice and personal spiritual growth.

  • Knowing we are all flawed, we fully embrace God’s grace and in turn, extend God’s love to our local community and beyond.

  • The Upper Room of Korean Central Presbyterian Church is an authentic community whose doors are always open to welcome those who seek to grow and renew their relationship with God through empowering worship, challenging preaching, meaningful prayer, and hands-on service.

  • To actively engage English-speaking disciples into fulfilling the Great Commission by creating a home-church for all followers, as well as by reaching out to all nations with the love of God.

  • We believe in One God in Three Persons, God the Creator, God the Redeemer, God the Sustainer, traditionally known as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 

  • We believe in the incarnation of God in Jesus the Christ, our Lord and Savior, in whom God's full humanity and divinity is revealed. 

  • We believe that God's grace and truth is revealed in and through the Proclaimed Word, the Written Word, both of which is rooted in the Living Word, Jesus the Christ through the Holy Spirit. 

  • We believe in the universal church of Jesus the Christ that is reformed, and always to be reformed according to the Word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit. 

  • We believe that God who is in Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit creates, sustains, rules, and redeems the world in God's sovereign love and freedom

  • We believe that we are broken sinners and are prone to idolatry and tyranny and therefore we need to constantly depend on God's guidance and mercy

  • We believe that God chose God's people to engage in service to others and for justice and to participate in God's work of salvation. 

  • We believe that this congregation, as a part of the universal church of God, is a member of the body of Christ. As the body of Christ, we serve God, others, and the world through the church guided by the Holy Spirit. 

  • We believe that the church is called to faithful stewardship that shuns pretentious materialism and seeks proper use of the gifts of God's creation. 

  • We believe that as followers of Jesus the Christ, we are to work for the transformation of society by seeking and participating in God's justice and living in obedience to the Word of God.
