There are quite a few English-speaking churches across Korea, especially in Seoul. For non-denominational or interdenominational services, Jubilee Community Church in Gangnam and Seoul International Baptist Church in Yongsan are very popular with expats. Yoido Full Gospel Church, one of the largest churches in the world, offers English services as well.
For specific denominations, you can find Anglican services at Seoul Anglican Cathedral in Jeong-dong, Catholic English masses at Myeongdong Cathedral and Yongsan International Parish, Presbyterian services at Youngnak Presbyterian Church, and Methodist services at various locations around Seoul. Onnuri Community Church in Seocho also has a well-attended English ministry. Outside Seoul, most major cities like Busan, Daegu, and Daejeon have at least one or two English-speaking congregations. A good starting point is to search on Facebook groups like Expats in Seoul or check the website internationalchurch.co.kr which has a directory of English-speaking churches by region.
