This study is an attempt to seek the restoration of the health and Mokjang community of the church in the midst of the crisis of COVID-19. Due to the worsening of the pandemic situation, the government has restricted "worship" and "meetings." As a result, the regulations were restricted in the religious life of the members, and inevitably they neglected church services and had to experience the weakening of their faith. Now, this situation is not only temporary, it is becoming a permanent condition. Therefore, the church must prepare for the 'Beyond Covid-19' era in the 'With Covid-19' era. To this end, the researcher is convinced that the first thing that the Korean church needs to recover is the practices of the early church.
The early church is the most biblical church, and it is the kind of church that was filled with the Holy Spirit as the Lord expected. Therefore, above all else, the movement to restore the pastoral community is very appropriate in order to carry out this early church and the mission of the church. All the members are called to the 'table community' to eat and drink 'bread of the earth' and 'bread of heaven' at the same time through the pastoral community. The Lord's Table was the 'Table of Life, Table of Salvation Community' that invited and welcomed the disciples, and it was the table of participation in the New Heaven and New Earth. This invitation to the Lord's Table continues even now to the world, and it is the holy mission of Christians to share God's love and grace through the 'Table Community', and to participate in the gospel work and salvation work, and to work together. This study aims to provide a basis of the table community that is a necessary task to establish a pastoral community in order to restore the early Christian community in a biblical and historical dimension.
