However, most Korean churches of the day have adhered to the conventional form of worship service. In other words, Korean church worship services are thoroughly centered on the preacher which would require the unilateral delivery of his or her religious experiences and the messages from the Bible to the audience from a minister rather than mutual communication. Moreover, Korean churches have responded to the change of forms not only passively but also conservatively. As such, a thorough performance of the existing form within the limited time without mistakes is regarded as a successful worship service. Likewise, the service with the absence of the elements of an EPIC(Experience, Participation, Image, Connection) has still been regarded as the right answer and performed accordingly. That is, amidst of the age that requires change, Korean churches have been responding to the needs of the times in the form of worship service that deny the change.

Although many churches in Korea have been experiencing trouble with the absence of young households, the worship service provided to the young couples in their 30-40s is still in the conventional and unilateral form without the elements of an EPIC.

In such circumstance, this study attempts to provide the opportunity to discuss the future direction of the church worship service in Korea, by examining how young married couples in their 30-40s respond to the service with the abundance of EPIC elements, and how a worship service with an ample amount of EPIC elements would be able to convey the essence of the gospel and service more effectively.

The EPIC elements are not of something new; rather, they are the abundant elements of the church since the earliest times that we have somehow missed and lost. As such, the worship service with EPIC elements would pursue the audience’s direct experiences, as well as the connection between the community and an individual and between different individuals, by accepting the service not by relying solely on listening, but through diverse senses. The perspective of the study lies in that the worship service as the essential part of the church would gain its life and all the parts and functions of the church would be revitalized, only when people dream of the service with EPIC elements and proceed towards a more abundant form of service through relentless research and challenges.
