Celebrating Longevity Around the World
Presented by the Presbyterian Older Adult Ministries Network (POAMN)

Webinar - Korean Milestone Birthdays, Immigrants and Korean-American Church
May 7 - 1-2 pm (ET)

Speaker: Rev. Jae Kim
Rev. Jae Kim was born and raised in Korea and immigrated to the USA in 2003. After graduating from Columbia Theological Seminary in 2008, he ministered to older adults of Korean Community Presbyterian Church in Duluth, GA until 2018. Now he serves as senior pastor at New Blessing Church in Duluth, GA.

Description:
Koreans celebrate longevity with throwing big parties for older adults particularly when they meet milestone birthdays like Hwangap (60) – Gohi (70) – Palsoon (80) – Gusoon (90). This session will show how Korean-Americans inherit the tradition in the context of immigrant communities and what the immigrant churches contribute to empowering older adults spiritually in their life stage.
