경일중학교 영어교사와 교장, 대전신학대학교와 영남신학대학교 강사를 역임했다. 대전 현암교회, 대구 서남교회, 청주 대농교회를 거쳐 서울 한빛교회에서 은퇴하고, 서울 동남교회 공로목사로 추대되었다. 대한예수교 장로회(통합) 총회 인권위원장, 사형제도폐지위원회 위원장, KNCC(한국기독교교회협의회)의 한국교회제일동포인권선교협의회 전후배상위원장과 일본외등법문제대책 전국기독교연락협의회(일본)와 한국교회재일교포인권선교협의회가 공동편집한 「검지 손가락의 자유를 위하여」 한국측 편집위원, 서울 동남노회 노회장, 서울 강동교구협의회 회장을 역임했다.

According to the footsteps of the deceased (main content below), the late Pastor Tae-gyu Kim, whose real name is Moon-ryang, was born in Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do in 1933. He was accepted to the College of Arts and Sciences at Kyungpook National University, but graduated from the Department of English Language and Literature (B.A.) at Keimyung University at the recommendation of missionary Ga-jeon Kwak, the younger brother of Allen D. Clark, a missionary of the Northern Presbyterian Church in the United States (a director of Keimyung University). After that, he graduated from the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary Graduate School (M.Div.) and the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary Graduate School (Th.M.), and during his sabbatical year, he visited and studied at Drew University and Princeton Theological Seminary in the United States. He served as an English teacher and principal at Kyungil Middle School, and as an instructor at Daejeon Theological University and Yeongnam Theological University. After serving at Daejeon Hyeonam Church, Daegu Seonam Church, and Cheongju Daenong Church, he retired from Seoul Hanbit Church and was appointed as a distinguished pastor at Seoul Dongnam Church. He served as the chairman of the Human Rights Committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea (Tonghap), the chairman of the Committee for the Abolition of the Death Penalty, the chairman of the Post-War Compensation Committee of the Korean Church First Korean Human Rights Mission Council of the National Council of Churches in Korea (KNCC), the Korean editorial committee member of “For the Freedom of the Index Finger,” jointly edited by the National Christian Liaison Council (Japan) and the Korean Church in Japan Korean Human Rights Mission Council, the chairman of the Seoul Southeast Presbytery, and the chairman of the Seoul Gangdong Parish Council.
