To experience local religious communities, you will need to do a bit of a research. We provided the address of the communities, which you can copy and paste to NAVER map app and see how to get there.

Except for the chartered bus ride to the Dream Community, which departs from Yonsei Front Gate at 8:30 am, all the other churches, you will visit on your own.
