abstract The purpose of the project is to restore the health and beauty of the church by careful atudy of the missional church from a biblical go well as a situational perspective and the examination of the case of Sekwang Church which has been able to make a concrete and practical application to its educational ministry.

What is the purpose of the church? It would not be wrong to say that the church exists to save souls and to carry out God's mission. God is Mission Dei, the God of missions. It is easy to think that mission is something we must manage but that is not actually the case. God is the principal agent who leads mission. The church and Christians must cooperate and commit to achieve God's kingdom. This ministry cannot be accomplished by one's own strength and ability. The church must unite as one and remember that mission is the greatest calling for which all are required to work together and strive to fulfill this God-given calling.

The church and Christians who look toward God's kingdom have the calling to be the salt and light in this world. Examining the region and periphery from God's kingdom perspective and working together to Building the Gospel is very important. The church must carefully scrutinize the surroundings to actively support struggling churches, local communities, educational facilities, overseas mission fields and the like in order to Building the Gospel. To that end, lay people-centered ministry is absolutely required. When Christians cooperate and collaborate together with God's kingdom perspective and become one with Christ, they will be able to achieve healthy, beautiful and well-balanced missions.

This project introduces the direction and concrete process of the beautiful church, the healthy church, the vitality of Christ filled church that transforms the world and saves souls. The beautiful fruits of mission of the present age church and Christians who seek and desire to expand God's kingdom by serving the region as salt and light will be made evident.
