The History of KCM
Korean-American Campus Mission had its origin as far back as the late 1970's when the Korean immigrant community was still in its early development. Pastor Tae Oon Suk, the Founder and current President, s[/b]tarted going out to various campuses with the simple desire to teach the Bible to Korean college students. However, as God led him and several of the other Pastors from the Oriental Mission Churches, they began to discuss the potential of a Missions Movement among the Korean college students.

They saw a great number of young people who lacked vision and understanding to what God was doing in this world. Before long, these pastors merged together the community of Korean students with the ministry on the campuses, and bringing a vision for missions they formed Korean-American Campus Mission (KCM). KCM was officially recognized as a non-profit organization and a ministry in the fall of 1986.

From the very beginning, God has been leading this ministry in developing into an extensive campus ministry and also an experienced program for Short-term Summer Missions. Over the years the Korean-American community has experienced a great deal of changes and transformations. However, KCM has remained a constant staple to challenge and nourish Korean-American college students amidst changes and adjustments.

Currently, KCM is active on six major universities in California (UCSB, UCLA, USC, UCI, UCSD, UCR), and we have a Summer Missions program that is over 13 years in experience. By the grace of God we hope to expand further as we continue to mobilize the rich harvest of Korean-American Christians for the call to worship and to missions.
