To address these issues, this research theoretically examines Leonard Sweet's EPIC model, confirming its effectiveness as a communication method for contemporary culture. However, the study identifies limitations in applying the original model directly to the unique social and religious structures of South Korea, necessitating a more flexible adaptation suited to the local context.

Accordingly, this study employs a qualitative case study of Rev. Hak-jung Kim's pastoral philosophy and the ministries of Dream Church to articulate the "K-EPIC" model. Through a combination of theoretical research and participant observation, this paper provides an integrated analysis of worship, discipleship, physical space, media ministry, and engagement with younger generations and the local community.

The findings demonstrate that K-EPIC is not merely a strategy for church growth but a paradigm where Experience, Participation, Image, and Connection (EPIC) are organically integrated. This multifaceted approach offers a structural response to the privatization of faith, communal dissolution, and the aging demographic within the church.

Despite its potential, the study acknowledges the limitations of the K-EPIC model as practiced at Dream Church. Given its development within a megachurch context, scalability to small and medium-sized churches may be challenging. Therefore, implementation across the broader Korean church requires careful contextualization and ongoing empirical validation.

In conclusion, this research identifies the K-EPIC model as a viable alternative pastoral paradigm that allows the Korean church to preserve the essence of the Gospel while pursuing communal restoration and sustainability in a changing society. The significance of this study lies in presenting a practical and structural model for the future of Korean Christianity.
