Korean Church Translation
Your Korean sermon,
understood in English —
live, on every phone.
LivingLogos gives Korean-American churches real-time sermon translation: as your pastor preaches in Korean, English captions appear on each person’s phone in about two seconds. No app, no headsets, no interpreter booth.
The bilingual gap
When the sermon is in Korean but the pew isn’t
Most Korean-American congregations are quietly bilingual. First-generation members worship in Korean, while 1.5- and second-generation members, English-speaking spouses, adult children, and first-time visitors follow only part of the message. The English Ministry (EM) and Korean Ministry (KM) often meet separately for exactly this reason — and families end up split across two services.
Printed translations go stale the moment the pastor departs from the manuscript. A live interpreter is expensive, hard to staff every week, and pulls focus. LivingLogos closes the gap without any of that: everyone stays in the same room, reading the same message in the language they think in.
How it works
Korean sermon to English in three steps
- 1
Start a session
The pastor or a volunteer opens LivingLogos on a phone or laptop and presses Start. Plug into the sound board for the cleanest audio, or just use the device mic.
- 2
Congregation scans a QR code
Show the room’s QR code on a slide or in the bulletin. Members scan it, pick English (or their language), and they’re in — nothing to install.
- 3
Read the sermon in real time
As the pastor preaches in Korean, translated English captions scroll on each phone about two seconds later, all the way through prayer and announcements.
Built for Korean sermons
Tuned for how Korean preaching actually sounds
Names & theological terms
Add a sermon reference or keyword list and LivingLogos grounds its translation in it — so Korean names, ministry titles, and recurring terms come through correctly instead of being guessed.
Natural English, not word salad
Honorifics and Korean sentence order are rendered into readable, natural English prose that a second-generation member can follow without effort.
Follows the whole service
Scripture reading, prayer, announcements, and unscripted moments are all translated live — not just a prepared manuscript.
Transcripts you can keep
Every session’s transcript and translation is saved to your dashboard, so you can review, share, or repurpose the message afterward.
Beyond English
One Korean sermon, every language in the room
Your congregation isn’t only Korean and English. Each listener chooses their own language, so a single sermon can stream to English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Japanese and more at the same time — ideal for multi-ethnic churches and shared campuses. And because translation runs both directions, your English Ministry service can just as easily stream Korean captions for first-generation parents and visitors.

Questions
Korean church translation FAQ
How does LivingLogos translate a Korean sermon into English?
As the pastor preaches in Korean, LivingLogos transcribes the speech, translates it into English, and streams the captions to each listener’s phone in about two seconds. Nothing is pre-scripted — it follows the sermon live, including prayer, announcements, and off-the-cuff remarks.
Do our English-speaking members need to download an app?
No. Congregants scan a QR code or open a link in any phone browser, choose English (or another language), and start reading. There is nothing to install and no account to create for listeners.
Can it handle Korean theological terms, honorifics, and Korean names?
Yes. You can add a sermon reference or a list of keywords — names, ministries, book titles, recurring theological terms — and LivingLogos grounds its translation in them, so proper nouns and church-specific vocabulary come through correctly in natural English.
Can we also translate English into Korean for our EM service or Korean-speaking visitors?
Yes. Translation runs in either direction. An English Ministry (EM) service can stream Korean captions for first-generation members, and a Korean Ministry (KM) service can stream English — both from the same tool.
What if some of our members speak Chinese, Spanish, or other languages?
Each listener picks their own language independently. A single Korean sermon can be streamed to English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Japanese and more at the same time — useful for multi-ethnic or campus congregations.
How much does it cost for a Korean church?
Plans start at $29/month, and pay-as-you-go is $5 per translation-hour with no subscription. New churches get 2 hours of free translation time to try it during a real service, no credit card required.
How long does it take to set up before a service?
A few minutes. Create an account, start a session from your phone or laptop, and display the QR code (on a slide, in the bulletin, or at the welcome desk). Members scan once and they are in.
