The Church of God oppressed children not only during worship services, but also within the church, according to MBC's P.D. Notebook broadcast and testimonies from defectors. Corporal punishment, which constitutes child abuse, is said to be used to discipline children, which appears to have originated from the ideas of Pastor Kim Joo-cheol. Videos and statements from young children who were abused in the Church of God can be found at the links below.

Kim published a booklet called My Sheep Hear My Voice, which emphasizes worship etiquette, including how to treat children. The booklet states, "It is important to recognize that the church is a place of true solemn worship with the Holy Spirit, and that we should be absolutely silent during worship services." Because of these teachings, talking during worship is corporal punishment.
