Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the implications for the more appropriate educational ministry for the 3040 generation congregation through a critical and holistic understanding of the 3040 generation of Korean churches in the view of the discourse on understanding congregation. To this end, this study studies the biblical, theological, and educational grounds of the discourse on understanding congregation in terms of the connection between congregational theory and educational ministry, describes the characteristics of the 3040 generation congregation through human-developmental, faith-developmental, and socio-cultural approaches, and presents educational implications for the 3040 generation from a congregational point of view. Through this study, This study presents four implications of educational ministry from a congregational perspective by paying attention to the characteristics and intergenerational dynamics of Korean churches in their 30s and 40s: 1) Renewal of family-friendly educational ministry considering various types of families, 2) Reinforcement of life-long discipleship where the Gospel and life issues encounter; 3) Reinforcement of collaborative small groups based on all-line ministry; 4) Presenting the development and practice of creative and evangelical ESG ministry.

연구 목적 : 본 연구는 회중론적 관점에서 한국교회의 3040세대에 대한 보다 비판적이고 통전적인 이해를 통하여 3040세대 회중을 향한 보다 합당한 목양를 실천할 수 있는 교육목회적 함의점들을 발견하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 먼저, 회중론과 교육목회와의 연계성에 대한 성서적, 신학적, 교육적 근거들을 살펴보았다. 그리고 3040세대에 대한 연령 발달적, 신앙발달적, 사회문화적 접근을 통해 3040세대의 회중론적 이해와 특징들을 기술하였고, 회중론적 관점에서 본 3040세대에 대한 교육목회적 함의점들을 제시하였다. 결론 및 제언 : 본 연구는 한국교회 3040세대의 특징과 세대간 역동성을 주목하며 회중론적 관점에서 네가지 교육목회적 함의로서 1) 다양한 가정유형을 고려한 가정친화적 교육목회로의 전환, 2) 복음과 삶의 이슈가 만나는 전생애주기적 제자양육으로의 강화, 3) 올라인 목회(all-line ministry)를 기반으로 하는 협업형 소그룹의 강화, 4) 더 나은 세상을 향한 창의적이고 복음적인 ESG 사역의 개발과 실천을 제언하였다.
