The Korean First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro is located in a brick church on Stage Coach Trail. Other congregations also meet there, too. From traditional to contemporary, increasingly, churches are offering multiple services that cater to different congregations. The church-within-a-church is also a common model. The Korean Presbyterian has a great website, unfortunately, it is in Korean so we can't tell you what it says (see for yourself, here). The Korean Presbyterian Church in America was founded in 1976. According to Wikipedia, it has approximately 55,000 members.
In the six, plus, years of Sundays that we have been posting on religion in Greensboro, the religious diversity of our city continues to amaze us. Happy Sunday, and enjoy the beauty of the day, regardless of what you celebrate.
Very interesting. About a year ago, we stumbled upon a Korean Baptist Church here in Ocala along a back road. I can't imagine there are enough Koreans, much less Korean Baptists to make up a church, but I am obviously wrong!
Re the rock: It is limestone (actually, coquina). Eons ago these rocks were formed of limestone and various seashells, dirt and other earthy materials. It is quarried here and used extensively in building and for decoration.

The same is done here- churches catering to more than one congregation, particularly if a language group is involved.
