Why I Visited New Tribe Bali International Church (IFGF)
During my 30 days in Bali, I spent a lot of time staying at accommodations near Kuta Beach. I visited a nearby church for Sunday worship.

I wanted to attend a church where people from all over the world gather locally.

New Tribe Church Service Information
When my accommodation was near Kuta, I attended services at Tribe Bali Church on May 20 and June 2, 2024.
At first, I didn't know the English service time, so I went at 9 o'clock, but I couldn't understand it at all, so I left in the middle. 11 o'clock serviceI gave it to you again. (Be sure to check the worship times.)

It is a church that can accommodate about 500 people, and the Indonesian service was mostly for Balinese people, and the number of members was about half of the number of people who attended the English service.
but, The 11 o'clock English service had a much larger crowd, and the seats were almost full.They worshipped. (I don't speak English, but it wasn't too hard to understand. It depends on the pastor.)
- Praise and Word
Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with worship these days, but most of the worship songs at New Tribe Church were unfamiliar to me. However, the lyrics and verses were displayed so clearly on the screen behind me that I had no trouble singing along or reading the verses.

The church is a place that pays a lot of attention to new believers. New Tribe Church also welcomes new believers and has a sign at the entrance. A free coffee voucher is given at the cafe.It was advertised well. It was nice to see all the attendees welcoming newcomers.

- Every first Sunday, Holy Communion Sunday
The day I went to church was June 2nd It was Holy Communion Sunday, so we had Holy Communion at New Tribe Church.I ended up doing this. It was amazing. There was a white candy-like thing on the lid of a plastic bag stacked like jelly, and when you remove the shell, there was wine underneath.
It was a wonderful and thankful experience to be able to celebrate the Eucharist in Bali, Indonesia, not just in Korea.
Meal after worship
I was able to do this because I stayed at a hotel right near New Tribe Church, but I'm sure there are those who visit from a bit further away. For those of you, I'd like to share some restaurant recommendations after the service.

Mal Bali Galeria is one of the most famous shopping malls in the Kuta area. Its square shape is surprisingly large. Inside, you'll find everything from car showrooms to Uniqlo and electronics stores.

A Visit to New Tribe Bali International Church (IFGF)
I am currently traveling the world and would like to attend a local church wherever I am, if possible.
In Bali, where even just stepping outside one's home is filled with sarira and idols, just being able to gather together and worship God was a moving and blessed experience. It was a joyful and joyful time, filled with such a wonderful worship experience and encounters with such wonderful people.
