I have not been to church since being in Korea. I am looking for a church that is not legalistic or judgemental. I am a bit backslidin. Either a church or some people to meet with on a regular basis to fellowship with.
Thank you |

It's very central. Send me a pm if you want to hook up before service and get some introductions. |

you could check the herald and times classifieds, and then just church hop. i can tell you that the uijongbu baptist is very bible based, but the people seemed very very friendly.
there is a very small anglican church in taejeon, like, less than 20 people. and i think most of the members were originally catholics or protestants--all very nice and welcoming.
where are you? several korean churches offer an english service; most of the people will be korean, but they'll be quite friendly. you'll have to set limits about how much you're willing to do with them in terms of giving readings, participating, church lunches etc. |

can anyone add to this and suggest services in Korean that are friendly and evangelical and have lively worship. We want to go native. Cheers. |

Dude, the church you are looking for is Sarang in Kangnam. I've gone there for over a year. Their English services (there are 3) are totally great, and exactly what you stated. Really great!
http://nhm.sarang.org/
There is a good map on the site (which was created by my friend). Just click on "Location" at the top. Remember, the English services are in another building behind the main church. Just follow the map.
It's Evangelical/Presbyterian. Songs are newer and they have a full band with guitars, an electric violin, drums... etc. About 300 attend each service.
Oh, not sure about the Korean side of the services, but I know there are a ton of them in the main building. Sarang is one of the largest churches in Seoul, but I like the English services because they are not too big that you feel lost and can't meet anyone. |

Do they still have their service in their cafe? That was a major turn off for me. Went once and wasn't interested in sweating my balls off in an oven aka cafe turned church. |

I would say it is solid. I used to goto the one in Ichon a few years back. I liked it, but it felt wierd seeing so many people come and go. I stopped going when I married.
I tried the one in Yangjae...that is also a hassle to get to, so I stopped going.
Guess I am a backslider myself. |

in meeting together for a Bible study- discussion format. I am thinking about this rather than going to a church. Could do it over a beer (joking). |

Are the Anglican congregations in Korea of the open and accepting type? Where can one find an Anglican/Episcopal congregation outside of Seoul? |
