During the Korean war many members fled to South. They also established themselves in Seoul and founded the Sangjunghyung Church in 1954. In 1967 they organised as a presbytery, during this period several splits occurred. In 1974 the General Assembly was organised. It adheres to the Apostles Creed and the Westminster Confession.
