Abstract

The demand for lifelong education is increasing. Individuals, organizations, and groups are creating an environment where anyone can learn anytime, anywhere while conducting educational and learning activities. The propagation of Christianity in Korea began with education. For churches that own various human and material resources, their functions and roles in the region are more important. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the role and function of church lifelong education in the community to view church lifelong education as a mission tool. It examines the significance of church lifelong education, the biblical basis for church lifelong education, and the history of church lifelong education. It also examines the role of the church in the community and its functional basis for lifelong education. I would like to present the meaning of church lifelong education as a community mission tool. Through the practice of church lifelong education, local residents have a positive perception of the church, and it can be seen that the church provides an opportunity for evangelism. It is now necessary for churches with various advantages to implement lifelong education to revitalize church lifelong education as a missionary tool for local missionary work.

연구 목적 : 평생교육에 대한 요구가 증대되고 있다. 개인과 조직 집단은 교육·학습 활동을 전개하면서 누구든지, 언제, 어디에서나 배울 수 있는 환경을 창출하고 있다. 한국 기독교의 전파 활동은 교육으로부터 시작되었다. 다양한 인적 자원과 물적자원 등을 소유하고 있는 교회는 지역에서의 그 기능과 역할이 더욱 중요시된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역사회에서 교회평생교육의 역할과 기능을 탐색하여 봄으로써 선교 도구로서의 교회평생교육을 조망하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 교회평생교육의 의의, 교회평생교육에 대한 성경적 근거, 교회평생교육의 역사를 살펴본다(II장). 지역사회에서의 교회의 역할과 평생교육에 대한 교회의 기능적 근거를 검토한다(III장). 지역사회 선교 도구로서의 교회평생교육의 의미를 제시하고자 한다(IV장, V장). 결론 및 제언 : 교회평생교육 실천으로 지역사회 주민들은 교회에 대한 긍정적인 인식을 갖게 되었고, 교회는 전도 접점의 기회 제공이 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 평생교육을 실행할 수 있는 다양한 장점들을 가지고 있는 교회가 이제는 지역선교를 위한 선교적 도구로서 교회평생교육을 활성화하는 것이 필요하다.
