Our Story

In 2009, our senior pastor, Joshua Kang, and a group of young pastors and deacons began planning and praying into the launch of a new English Ministry. Vessel was officially launched on Sunday, November 29, 2009. We are the English Ministry of Full Gospel Las Vegas Church. The heart behind Vessel’s launch was to reach English-speaking, 4 generation Korean American adults, especially those who stopped attending church.

When we first launched, we began meeting in a dance studio. From there, we relocated several times: to a different dance studio, back to the small sanctuary on the east side, then to a tutoring center, and now to our current location. Our experience has felt a lot like Israel’s journey through the wilderness--moving from place to place, setting up and tearing down the tabernacle along the way. But just as the Lord faithfully led and provided for Israel through the wilderness (Deut. 8:2-4), he has faithfully led and provided for Vessel through all the different changes and transitions. Over the years, the number of people who attend Vessel has steadily grown and the Lord has blessed us with leaders, deacons, and pastors who are here to serve and lead the community. Only the Lord knows exactly what the future holds for Vessel, but we believe that the best is yet to come.
