Korea has had Anglican (Episcopal) congregations since 1890. In 1993 the Archbishop of Canterbury recognized and installed a newly elected Primate (head of church) and handed jurisdiction to him, making the Anglican Church of Korea a Province of the Anglican Communion. There are presently three dioceses and four religious communities in the country (population 22 million) as well as an Anglican University.

We invite you to worship with us. Holy Eucharist is celebrated on Sundays at noon. Even if you're not bilingual you may be able to follow the service if you are familiar with the Episcopal Church's Book of Common Prayer liturgies. Or, consider attending as an observer. We would be delighted to welcome you. Many parishioners are bilingual.
Our Sunday morning services are always followed by a hospitality luncheon of Korean specialties prepared by families of the congregation. Join us! We will be pleased to meet with you to become acquainted and provide further information about the congregation. |

The Jeju Anglican/Episcopal Church offers liturgical worship with candles, responsive readings, songs, and prayers. The service is in Korean, but the church provides English-speakers with a printed guide in English. Sunday service is from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, followed by a luncheon at the church.
How to get there: From the No Hyeung 5-way intersection (at "Outback Steakhouse") walk in the direction of the ocean. At the end, turn right. The church is behind the bus stop. It's an older building remodeled and turned into a church.

Going straight to the source to find the best of Korea, they visit every corner of the country -- from the rolling hills of Jeju Island's green tea gardens to a sprawling market in Seoul pulsating with activity, all the way to the thriving seaport in Sokcho, just 10 miles from North Korea
