The church (official homepage–English and Korean) is a rather funky looking building in Jangchung-dong, not far from Jangchung Stadium and Dongdaemun Market. You need to climb the stairs to the right to reach the entrance, which is rather unusually placed at the rear. From the church homepage:
To enter into the main chapel you have to go through a path called the Meditator’s Walk. It is a long, uphill stairway that allows you to prepare yourself for a set-aside place for worship. For this reason the entrance to the chapel is on the back of the building. While you walk up the stairs, you will see the unevenly broken bricks that form the outer wall of the building. Ecumenism is what it is all about. All the different people of God are called and gathered here to build oikos, God’s church.
The interior is even funkier, although to be honest, I’ve never seen it—the church appears locked except when services are being held
