The East Asian Peoples Affinity Group (EAPAG) is one of the nine (9) Affinities of the IMB. The Korea Cluster is part of the Aisan Pacific Rim Peoples Affinity Group (APAC).
IMB has a long history in Korea. The first IMB missionary came to Korea in 1949. The early IMB missionaries built a theological seminary which was greatly daunted by Japanese persecution and war, but persevered and propelled a church planting ministry, leading the Baptist Church to take a new leap forward.
The vision of the Korea Cluster is to see a spiritual and second revival on the Korean Peninsula, and a great missionary movement to the ends of the earth. To realize this vision, Korea Cluster is evangelizing, making disciples that make disciples, and planting multiplying urban churches among college students and young professionals in South Korea, as well as providing trainings for church planting and revitalization.
Korea Cluster is also mobilizing and partnering with Baptist and baptistic churches and mission agencies to impact the Korean Peninsula, the Korean Diaspora, and other unreached nations with the Gospel and for the Great Commission task.
