University and Seminary (CUS) has celebrated 106th anniversary
this year. It started like a mustard seed, but it has grown up to
be a big tree with birds nestled on and fruits hanging over its branches.
What a wonderful grace of God it is! CUS, with the traditional Reformed
world view, has produced so many pastors, missionaries,theologians,and
diverse lay leaders such as patriots, teachers,and musicians, etc.
CUS has become a torch for the nation when she had struggled under
the Japanese rule and during her modernization. CUS has been the cradle
of the Korean Presbyterian churches at large and the Presbyterian
theological universities and seminaries in Korea, |

and played a key role to form and to maintain
the Korean Protestant Churches at large to be Bible-centered evangelical
churches which have now sent the largest numbers of the missionaries
to the world next to the American Churches. CUS aims to train
those who commit themselves to the work of the kingdom and the
church of God with the profound Reformed Theology and diverse
Bible-centered training programs for the students' mature spirituality
and personality. One hundred and two full-time faculty members
and numerous part-time lecturers, most of whom earned their doctorate
degrees from the world-level first class theological institutions
in the world, wait for the new young serious generation who has
enthusiasm to be the servants of the Lord. CUS is the official
institution to train the pastoral candidates for the Presbyterian
Church in Korea (Hapdong) which has about 11,000 local congregations
with about 3 million members. Let us join together to respond
seriously to the calling of God who is expanding and glorifying
His kingdom and His church and share our Bible-centered vision
with us. Let us work together to prepare for the God-fearing servants
of the Lord for the coming generation. Our Lord who has recreated
His fallen creation calls for His sincere servants for His harvest,
deploring that 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.Let's
say 'yes' with enthusiasm and anticipation to His calling.
