  • The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church was compiled by the Westminster Standards of the 17th century [the Confession of Faith (33 chapters), the Larger Catechism (196 questions and answers), and the Shorter Catechism (107 questions and answers)]. These standards are the expression of Reformed theology based on the Scripture, and they are the representative standards of the Presbyterian Church that best organize Protestant theology for 125 years after the Reformation according to the biblical basis. Drawn up by 151 ministers and commissioners, consisting of 121 theologians, 10 from the House of Lords and 20 from the Commons, at the Westminster Assembly, held in England over a period of five years and eight months from July 1, 1643 to February 22, 1649, these standards represent ¡®the supreme expression of the doctrine and polity of the Presbyterian Church.¡¯ The Westminster Standards following the theological position of Calvin (1509-1564) were handed down to the Korean church through the American church.
  • The Presbyterian Church in Korea was organized as a Synod of Presbyterian Church in Pyongyang on September 17, 1907 as a result of missionaries sent from the North and the South Presbyterian Church in America, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and the Presbyterian Church in Australia at the end of the 19th century. The Presbyterian Church in Korea adopted and used the 12 Creeds, the Shorter Catechism, and Church Government in 1908, and the Discipline and the Directory for Worship were used in the church from 1919. On September of 1917, the 6th General Assembly of Presbyterian Church in Korea, decided to translate and edit the Westminster Constitution into Korean to use in our churches. In 1934, a Constitution containing the 12 Articles, the Shorter Catechism, Church Government, Discipline, and the Directory for Worship was published, and this Constitution was used as the basic law for a long time in the Presbyterian Church. Afterwards, as the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Korea became separated and united into different denominations, the Constitution was used after amending several times in the situation of the Korean Church.
  • While this denomination (Soonjang) has been using the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church of Korea (Hapdong), it is necessary to inherit the Doctrinal Standards, which is the original orthodox confession of faith of the Presbyterian Church, and to revise the Governmental Standards with appropriate content throughout all areas of this denomination. Accordingly, in September 1989, the 37th General Assembly made a resolution to enact the Constitution, and formed the Constitution Enactment Committee, and appointed 6 members (Head of committee: Rev. Soonwoo Hong, Committee members: Rev. Jookbong Lee, Rev. Byungki Chung, Rev. Changeun Ahn, Rev. Junghee Kwon, and Rev. Boknam Jee). After deliberation and research of the elected Constitutional Enactment Committee for three years, the proposed the Constitution to the General Assembly, and 40th General Assembly in September 1992, passed it, proclaimed it, and published the first constitution
  • Further on, in September of 2010, the 58th General Assembly voted on to take the Constitution with the proposed edits from four other presbyteries and formulate a preliminary 2nd edition version. Then a committee was appointed to edit the preliminary version and present it at the 59th General Assembly with one representative from each presbytery, 8 in total. (Head of committee: Rev. Taeil Jee, Committee members: Rev. Youngsup Yoo, Rev. Boknam Jee, Rev. Junghee Kwon, Rev. Taeyoung Jee, Rev. Myungbum Suh, Rev. Euncheol Kim, Rev. Moonsik Hong, Rev. Keunwoo Lee). The edited preliminary version was presented and voted into being the active Constitution for this denomination at the 59th General Assembly. On September 19th of 2011, at the Baek-am Retreat Center, the 59th General Assembly announced the revised Constitution and published the second edition on March, 12, of 2012.
  • And after ten years, the 69th General Assembly in September of 2021 made a resolution of 16 articles proposed by the Constitution Revision Committee (including 2 articles revisions that were given by the International Presbyteries during the 64th General Assembly). After the inquiry to presbytery, the 70th General Assembly in September 2022 announced the execution in continuance of the 60th General Assembly in 2012, and made a meaningful decision to publish the Korean version of the Constitution for domestic use and the English-Korean version, which was a long-cherished wish of overseas presbyteries.
  • This Constitution, following the tradition of the Korean Presbyterian Church, places the 12 Creeds at the beginning, the Standards of the Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism, and Smaller Catechism) and the Standards of the Government (Government, the Book of Discipline, the Directory for the Worship of God) next.
  • In the midst of the ever-changing landscape of the church and the challenges faced by the next generation, one thing that truly weighs heavy on our hearts is the need for new translations of the Doctrinal Standards (the Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism, and Shorter Catechism), unity of terms and sentences, choice of terms easy yet detailed. On the other hand, with respect to the Governmental Standards of the Constitution (Government, Discipline, and the Directory for Worship), we wish that more realistic and future-oriented revisions will be made through more meetings, discussions, and public hearings (the detailed enforcement regulations need to be enacted separately from the Constitution). Since the Constitution of the church was established based on the Word of God, its authority must be respected. Also, when using this Constitution, without frivolity or partiality, we must do our best to completely realize God's will and sovereignty in the church, abandoning man centered thoughts and motivations
  • Lastly, We are grateful for the Constitution Revision Committee members, and Constitution Publishing Committee members of domestic and overseas presbyteries. With their efforts, the Third Amendment to the Constitution was published in both Korean and English-Korean version. May this Constitution bring much blessings to the growth of all local churches and saints, and the development of each organization in this General Assembly!
