The most supportive space when settling down in Bellevue was the Korean church.

Among the Korean community on the Eastside, churches often serve as a hub for sharing not only worship but also settlement information and connections.

It's also important to note that it provides a space to meet people with similar backgrounds and receive emotional support in an unfamiliar city.

There are several Korean churches in Bellevue, so finding one that fits your faith style and lifestyle is important. For those who haven't decided yet, I've quietly organized some options.

The most well-known is the Bellevue Korean Presbyterian Church, abbreviated as BKPC.

The address is 3105 125th Ave. SE, Bellevue, WA 98005, and the phone number is 425-772-9946. The website is www.bkpc.org.

It has a long history, and its worship and educational programs are well-structured, making it easy for newcomers to receive guidance.

If you're a Catholic, you might want to check out the Korean community at St. Madeleine Sophie Catholic Church.

The address is 4400 130th Pl SE, Bellevue, WA 98006, the phone number is (425) 830-1515, and the website is www.bellevuekoreancatholic.org, where they regularly hold Korean Mass and community events.

Korean Pilgrim Presbyterian Church is located at 6016 120th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98006, and the phone number is 425-746-4710.

Bellevue Sarang Church has its worship times available on their website bellevuesarangchurchwa.snappages.site.

Central Presbyterian Church of Bellevue provides information through centralpresbyterianchurchofbellevue.org, and there are also several other Korean churches from different denominations serving the community on the Eastside.

Listing these out, I realize that there is a variety of denominations and they are evenly spread throughout Bellevue.

Some people even come from Mercer Island or Redmond specifically to worship in Bellevue, effectively serving the entire Korean faith community on the Eastside.

Most Korean churches warmly welcome newcomers and provide detailed guidance, so it's perfectly fine to knock on their doors without hesitation.

However, it's advisable to check the worship times and parking situation in advance via their website or phone to avoid unnecessary trips.

Personally, I would recommend trying out two or three different Sunday services rather than settling on one right away.

Experiencing a church as a community beyond just a worship space is definitely possible in Bellevue.
