A few words

About Us

History

Our Story starts back in 1978, when Pastor Jeong Myeong Seok first began sharing God’s Word independently in Seoul, South Korea.

  • 1998 - CGM movement reaches Australia
  • 2009 - CGM Australia officially established
  • 2010 - First CGM Australia church conference
  • 2012 - Grew to over 100 members
  • 2015 - CGM Churches established in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

We are Christian Gospel Mission (CGM), also known as ‘Providence’ or ‘Jesus Morning Star (JMS)’ officially established in 1982, by Pastor Jeong Myeong Seok. CGM has now spread to over 70 countries, including Australia, which began from a few families who touched down in Sydney in 1998. Since then, we have grown to over 150 members around Australia.

The name Providence captures the core of our movement, which is to establish God’s Will on earth, proclaimed through the gospel. CGM’s mission is to inspire a life of love and connection with God by knowing Jesus Christ intimately. This connection is achieved by understanding the principles of the Bible deeply and putting them into practice in daily life. We believe heaven can be made on earth as we live united with God, just as we will later in heaven.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God through whom God’s Spirit came to the earth for the salvation of humankind. He was put to death in the body and resurrected in spirit, such that those who repent and believe in him as their Lord and Saviour will be forgiven of their sins. Their spirits will receive the gift of eternal life in heaven.
