Calvary Chapel International Fellowship
Pastor Mike Loudermilk
The Sunday English service begins at 11am. We are a small fellowship which means that on Sunday mornings as we study the Bible together there is lots of time for discussion rather than just preaching. Since we are small we currently begin our service with the Korean church downstairs for singing and communion. After singing we move the English speaking group upstairs for the Bible study discussion and prayer. After the service we again join the Korean church for fellowship and snacks. Calvary Chapel International Fellowship is affiliated with Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and Pastor Chuck Smith.
Address: We are only a few minutes from both the train station and express bus terminal in Cheonan. The church is located across from Kyobo Seng Myung Building and just to the right of the GS Supermarket. You can visit our webpage for more detailed directions and a map.
Contact: 041-557-4607 (Korean) or 041-553-4607 (English).
