Missional Church and Education for Korean Ministries
The purpose of this focus group is to restore the church’s biblical and missional identity and promote healthy ministry. Participants will explore the nature of the church from biblical and theological perspectives, develop a sound understanding of ecclesiology, and learn the principles of the missional church. The group will examine how to transform church structures, systems, and congregational perspectives from a traditional model to a missional one. Discussions will focus on how churches can embody a missional identity and equip members to live with missionary awareness. A missional church is a community sent into the world, where believers live incarnationally, bear witness to Jesus Christ, and remain united in faith and community. The ultimate goal is to restore the church’s missionary essence and equip Christians to live as faithful witnesses in the world.
