Religious Services in English

Those who are Christians (such as myself) notice there are many churches throughout Korea.  One thing that is more difficult to find are English services.  Fortunately, there is at least one worth mentioning that is completely in English, while there is another church that provides English translation.

1.  석사감리교회 (Seoksa Methodist Church)
 San27-21, Seosa-dong, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do
Tel: 033)261-6823 C.P. 010-7151-9032

While this church is Methodist, it's more of an inter-denominational service (including many different Protestant denominations in addition to Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox) intended for foreigners and Koreans who want to speak English.  The pastor's name is Rick de Graat, but you can just call him Pastor Rick.  I personally have started attending yesterday, so I'll try to give more information on what these services are like (like whether or not they serve communion).  What I can tell you for now, is that it has a worship service and sermons based on Scripture, but as far as I know for now, no liturgy is used.

Worship Service Time
Saturday: 6 PM, located in a separate building from the main sanctuary on the 2nd Floor
Sunday: 9 AM, located in the basement underneath the main sanctuary.  Bible Study is at 11 AM

2. Bible Study at Starbucks
For the time being there is a bible study at Starbucks in Myeongdong which is geared for foreigners.   The time is at 11 AM on Sundays.  Occasionally it might not happen.  If you are interested, then please email me so I can let you know if we are having it.
