Hindu Temples
Gwangju does not currently have a Hindu Temple. Sometimes the Gwangju International Center hosts services and prayers. It is best to check out their website or contact them to ask if there are any upcoming gatherings.
Mosques
The Gwangju Islamic Da'wah Center (광주이슬람다화센터) caters to Muslims living in Gwangju. It is located in Yangsan-Dong and Jumu'ah occurs every Friday at 12.45 pm. Our GET contract does not allow for special provisions to attend religious services during work hours. The mosque runs other weekend programs.
