“Church members who really love the church” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
This past Friday evening I met with the cell leaders of the family cells to discuss how we will arrange the cells for those who will worship at Wimbledon and who will worship in London. This was especially needed because we have two new cell leaders starting this term. We now have 10 family cell […]
“What It means to Live Well” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Professor Kim Chang-Wook, a popular instructor, once said during a lecture, “To live well does not mean to be rich, but to get along well,” which makes sense. In order for a person to live a really happy life, they must live in a good relationship. Jesus said that the largest and first of all […]
“False Humility” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
I used to be jealous of people who were full of confidence. I have a tendency to want to learn from people that I meet, whoever they may be. When I meet someone who speaks with confidence, I listen to them with respect, but often I find myself disappointed, thinking ‘they’re not saying anything special…’. […]
“The Power of Meditation” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Because people couldn’t meet during the pandemic, churches began to develop content to grab the hearts and minds of congregants. To me, this felt similar to times in the past when churches made fun programs to get the attention of kids who had left Sunday school. Some churches don’t realize how big of a mistake […]

“London God’s Vision Church” – Hyuk Kang (Korean Cell Leader)
Where should you go, by the time you come out of the dark and narrow room to the middle of the light in the world? After staying on the side of the road for a long time, my steps headed to a church. I found the nearest church where I was standing and found the […]
“Preparing a new place of worship in Wimbledon” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
Before the arrival of Covid, I had wondered whether we should establish another GVC place of worship near Wimbledon in South London. A lot of married couples move south upon having a child, or to buy a house, which is a trend that I thought would continue. And for those, coming to church each Sunday […]
“Why I want to contine in-person services” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
I’m not insisting that in-person services is the only form of “real” worship. We had no issues worshiping and holding cell groups online for the past year and three months. I also considered holding online-only services to help us focus on our personal relationship with God and nothing else. But from June onwards, I felt […]
“A Church that is More Sensitive to the Holy Spirit than World News” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
With daily new Covid-19 cases rising to over 90,000, the situation in the UK has become more serious. This week, a 70-year-old but healthy pastor involved in the Korean Churches in the UK association passed away from Covid-19. Naturally, as a pastor I couldn’t help but think about how, as a church, we should grapple […]
“Let’s Defend and Confirm the Gospel” – Rev. Young Joo Lee
During my 4 years of university life, I was an active member of a Korean Campus ministry group, which placed great emphasis on evangelism using the Four Spiritual Laws booklet. It helped to share the gospel message and even lead many to accept Jesus as their Saviour. However, to go one step further, I feel […]
