Established in 1985

The English Ministry of Hallelujah Church was started in 1985 with the vision of ministering to English-speaking internationals coming to Seoul for the '88 Olympics. Hallelujah Church was planted in 1980 in Seoul by a visionary group of families who dreamt of a church that reached across the denominations and the nations for the gospel mission. The senior pastors of Hallelujah Church have come from the Korean diaspora (USA).

Our Mission

We exist to glorify God by exalting Jesus Christ, which we believe will happen when we serve the expatriate and English-speaking community in the Seongnam-Seoul metro area through the authentic worship of the Redeemer God and the building up of Christ’s disciples for the church’s mission. ​

Hello! Thank you for visiting Hallelujah English Ministry.  We are a family-centered ministry who desire to honor God by exalting Jesus Christ.  We would love to have you visit us in our worship or in one of our small group settings.  Our prayer is that you would all find that “abundant life” Jesus promised to all who would trust and follow Him.
