Celebrating the 140th anniversary of Christian Mission in Korea, it is desirable for museums
to be built in major cities and provinces across the country to hold and promote the history
and relics of the early Korean church. Dongnae Central Presbyterian Church in Busan built
a vision center, opened the Korea Christian Mission Museum from the third floor of it, and
opened it to the Korean churches.
The stories of missionaries such as Presbyterian missionary Underwood and Methodist
missionary Appenzeller who arrived at the port of Jemulpo together on the morning of
Resurrection in 1885, the footsteps of the Korean Churches, which grew and became a
mission center around the world without disappearing despite the pressure of Japanese
imperialism and the persecution of the Communist Party, and the history records spread
from missionaries in each country were there. The origins and histories of the Christian
denominations including the spread of the gospel through medical care, education, music,
and physical education in the calm and sleeping Joseon land, and the symbol of love for
Korea of 192 people who were martyred for the land were arranged. In particular, when
entering the lobby, you will be impressed by the artifact of “The Pilgrim’s Progress”, which
