The '''New Jerusalem Imae Temple''' is the Church of God established in Imae-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea (hereinafter referred to as Korea). On September 27, 2000, the dedication service was held for the Imae Temple. A dedication service is a special service that is held when a new temple is established. The purpose of the service is to give thanks to God for a new location and dedicate the temple to God as an offering. Until [[the New Jerusalem Pangyo Temple]] was established in 2016, the Imae Temple served as the representative church for [[World Mission Society Church of God|the Church of God]], and its official name was the [[New Jerusalem]] Temple. The main building of the New Jerusalem Imae Temple is an elegant marble building with the same length, width, and height. Surrounding the main building are various auxiliary facilities such as an annex, an additional fellowship room, parking lots, and European-style accommodations for overseas members. In addition to the launching of the overseas mission that began in the early 2000s, this place is filled with the [[Church of God’s Missionary Work|gospel history of the Church of God]]. It has functioned as a comfortable haven and the cradle of the search for truth for overseas members who visit Korea, and a place for holding worship services. It has also served as an open space for neighbors. It is close to the [[Church of God Headquarters|Headquarters]] located in Sunae-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, and the [[Dongbaek Training Institute]] located in Yongin-si.
