Need help! to fnd a church in Seoul, Korea!!!?

Question

We are new to Seoul, and anybody who has been to Seoul, could you please tell us about a church you have been to, (christian) and and that you enjoyed? every answer is good. If you have ever been to seoul, and to a church, please tell me about it.

Answer 1

You should go to Yeoido Full Gospel Church. It is one of the biggest churches in the world and the pastor is just great. When you enter you can receive a device that you can listen to that has English translations of what the pastor is saying. Do not worry about the seating as there are plenty of seats (Two floors). It is a very big room, so an enlarged projection of the pastor will be shown on the wall behind him.

I hope you have a fun and safe trip in Seoul! Enjoy your stay!

Answer 2

Christianity

Unknown in the peninsula before the 18th century, Koreans were first introduced to Christianity through Jesuits in China. The Catholic branch spread so quickly when it was introduced to Korea that the King perceived it as a threat and actively persecuted the early missionaries. Protestant missionaries started coming in the late 19th century and established numerous hospitals and colleges. Christianity has been embraced with a vengeance, and many of the world's largest churches are in Korea (including Yoido Full Gospel Church, reputed to be the world's largest with a congregation of 700,000 members). Most of the smaller churches can be easily recognized by their neon red crosses atop the buildings. The English language newspapers list weekly schedules for English worship services.

Others

Islam

Very few Koreans have embraced the Islamic beliefs. However, a large mosque near It'aewon in Seoul is frequented by many foreigners in Korea.

Just take the Korean Hangul name with you on a paper and you even do not need an English Speaker to show you the way.

They have English services. They will be able to give you contacts in your neighbourhood as well.

If you need more help I highly recommend to call

1330 in Seoul for all kind of questions which might come up

(great to get infos on telephone numbers,addresses, buslines, etc.)

Or have a look at

http://www.korea4expats.com

it`s a very active community of expats giving advice.

Hope this will lead you in the right direction.

To get information about the legal part I would recommend to get in contact with the

Seoul Global Center (SGC)

Tel: [phone] (it replaced Seoul Help Center in January 2008) and you will find great volunteers helping you in the process.

Either call them or e-mail:

hotline at seoul.go.kr

(please use @seoul.go.kr, I just posted it this way to avoid spaming)

This is what I can come up for u right now. Please check around the forums like for work n play korea and other forums related to korea. Look at the maps also when u get to korea bceuase they have pretty much all locations down. I am muslim myself. It is no problem finding international chuches in Seoul. I have been to Seoul twice within the past year. I came from the usa. The places are so easy to find in korea but u just have to be alert and good with directions. If u are not good with direction u can ask any korean when u don't speak their language they will try and help u. But also do check the english newspapers like the herald and other ones I am sure they will have listings maybe in there. But also look at korean gov websites they can help u too. Also another tip is network with local koreans They will help out also.

I hope this helps u
