titleA Study of Congregational Transformation through Tong Bible Education A Case of Adult Class of Sionsung Church, Korea
abstract In this study, three times (Between February and November 2016, January - December 2017, and February - October 2018) were screened at the Sionsung Church in Ansan, We studied the changes in the congregation's individual, family, church, and society through the Tong Bible education(centering on 40stem) based on the Tong bible school program conducted until the end of March.

We believe and confess that the Bible is alive, vibrant, and sharper than any sword that is vigorous to the left or right, and that it spits the soul, spirit, joints, and bone marrow. Therefore, those who believe and confess Jesus as Lord of salvation have studied the Bible by hoping that the place of their lives will be changed through this Word of God. And so, there have been and have been many educational program for the Bible in Korea.

However, despite may Bible study programs, there is only a small change in the lives of the Saints, but no fundamental change has taken place. This is because so far most of the educational programs on the Bible have been focused on building partial and fragmented knowledge. In other words, because the Bible was partially and fragmentarily read and interpreted, the Bible was not fully understood. Part of reading the Bible is not the sum of the whole. No matter how many pieces of biased and fragmented Biblical knowledge are gathered, we can not read God's heart in the Bible.

But Dr. Byeong-Ho Cho's Tong Bible School program overcame these shortcomings. When you look at the Bible, you can see the forest and the trees together.

This study is a study that proves that the congregation can experience fundamental changes through 40stem, Tong Bible school programs. And the result was amazing. Those who participated in the education have tried hard to know the words of God by experiencing the words of Hebrews 4:12 in their own lives.

I hope that their growth will not stop until the fullness of Jesus Christ is reached. And this researcher studied the remarkable educational effect of this Tong Bible school and this paper to inform God who has been together on this way.
