The first Korean Presbyterian church was founded by Seo Sang-ryun in Hwanghae province in 1884.[1] Shortly thereafter, several foreign Presbyterian missionaries arrived on the peninsula, including Horace Allen, Horace G. Underwood, and Henry Davies.
Like other Christian groups, the Korean Presbyterians such as Gil Seon-ju were closely involved in the peaceful March 1st Movement for Korean independence in 1919.[2]
By 1937, the Presbyterian churches were largely independent of financial support from the United States.[3] Presbyterianism in Korea was reconstructed after World War II in 1947. The church adopted the name the Reformed Church in Korea.[citation needed]
