Microprogramming: Yoido Church is not
a program base design church.[1]
The entire church participates in the fourfold ministry pattern of worship,
prayer meeting, ministry visitation and cell on weekdays; other ministries are
large in number by Western standards but are a minuscule fraction of the total
membership at Yoido Church. For example, fifteen hundred persons participate in
twelve adult choirs; each sings in one service a week, but this number is
statistically insignificant compared to the 12,000 present in the main
sanctuary at worship.[2]
[1]For the original description of the Program Base Design paradigm for the traditional church, see Neighbour, Where Do We Go, 38-92.
