title A Study on the Direction of Online Ministry in the Post-COVID Era : Focusing on the Case of Hansomang Church in Korea
abstract This study explores the direction of All-Line ministry in the post-COVID-19 era, with a particular focus on the case of Hansomang Church in South Korea. The COVID 19 pandemic has dramatically transformed the environment of pastoral ministry, challenging churches to go beyond the dichotomy of offline and online ministry. In response, the concept of All-Line ministry has emerged as a new paradigm that integrates both online and offline approaches into a unified and continuous spiritual experience for the faith community.

As implemented by Hansomang Church, All-Line ministry seeks not only to deliver worship and discipleship content through digital platforms but also to establish a participatory and relational model of ministry. Through the Hansomang Media Center (HanMiSo), the church has developed a comprehensive structure involving content creation, digital outreach, pastoral care, and training programs for both clergy and lay leaders. Weekly and seasonal media contents such as worship broadcasts, sermon summaries, praise videos, and testimony-based programs are produced and shared to foster spiritual growth and connection.

This research combines literature review and case study methodology to examine the theological and practical implications of All-Line ministry. It argues that All-Line ministry is not merely a technical adaptation but a transformative approach that redefines the nature of church, worship, and community in the digital age. The case of Hansomang Church offers a meaningful and replicable model for churches seeking to embrace digital transformation while maintaining theological integrity and communal vitality.
