Shalom Choir & Trio

Chung-dong EM's Shalom Choir is a small, but energetic and enthusiastic group of about eighteen members who enjoy singing four-part harmony and all kinds of music! Some of us are, or have been, students majoring in music; the rest are from all walks of life. We share the joy of singing, and a belief in music as a central part of worship.

Shalom started with only four members to support the English worship services which began in June 1997 and became a regular choir by appointing Yongshil Jeon (previous senior pastor Jo Yongjoon's wife) as conductor bearing the name English Ministry Choir. When Soyong Joo became conductor in 1998, she dedicated herself for ten years and her dedication bore the fruit of success. The Choir accepted the name 'Shalom' in 1999. With the addition of 3 instrumentalists, Jinwoo Park, Seokjoong Lee, and Hanlim Kim, the Shalom Choir and Trio was born. Shalom Choir and Trio have since been performing and serving in worship and inspired worshipers with outstanding music.

In 2000, Shalom had performed its first music concert, commemorating 3 years of service in the English Ministry. Since then Shalom had performed concerts annually including the prestigious memorial concert for Chungdong FMC's 120 years anniversary with a joint performance with Wesley Choir, Chungdong's 3rd worship service choir. In 2008 soprano leader Hee-Yong Yoon became the conductor of shalom and under her baton, the choir performed various outstanding concerts.

The choir practices two hours per Sunday, one before and one after worship services. Every year we perform a major concert showcasing major works performed throughout the year . If you are interested in joining us, please email Won for more information at wonsept@naver.com.

C.A.T.S.

Chungdong Academy for Theological and Spiritual Formation
Informed to be Transformed

We want to invite you to become part of Chungdong EM’s CATS program in 2020. Through CATS, EM is committed to providing opportunities for the people of faith to grow spiritually, be empowered through the knowledge of the Word of God, and experience a vibrant and purposeful life as followers of Jesus Christ. The CATS program is practical, informative and transformational.

The CATS program comprises:
  • Talk Concerts: Thought-provoking and inspiring open lectures presented by experts in their fields of study.
  • The Bible in Practice:  Our annual Seder Supper is a practical enactment of the Last Supper, as seen from a Jewish perspective.  It is a realistic, profoundly spiritual and sound theological. 
  • Spiritual Formation:  The Winter Spiritual Retreat at Chungdong Retreat Center in December is the highlight of the CATS program. 
  • Training Sessions:  Chungdong EM’s Summer and Winter Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) will be preceded by an intensive teacher’s training session by specialists in the field of children’s ministry.
  • Mentorship Program:  The current mentorship program for staff members will be extended to a mentorship program for lay leaders.
  • The Bible as GPS Course:  During 2019, we’ve started with the first module of the Bible as GPS.  This will continue in 2020.  The course is intensive and exciting, helping believers the necessary skills of exegesis, hermeneutics and homiletics.  It can change the way you read the Bible and apply it in real life.  Don’t miss this course.  Each module takes ten weeks to complete.  For the duration of the course, lectures take place on Sundays from 12:30 to 1:30.  The course dates for 2020 are on the back of this pamphlet.
  • Table Talks:  During the GPS Course break periods, you are invited to attend CATS Table Talks on Sundays at 12:30—1:30 where EM pastors will introduce and lead open discussions on interesting and thought-provoking issues of faith and practical Christianity.  More details will be released later.
