청년 1인 가구 사역 방안

Abstract

Since 2015, single-person households have become the main household type, as of 2019, it became the ‘single-person household era’ with 30.2%. In particular, young adults single-person households before marriage are mainly derived from academic work and employment. This not only makes the period of staying as a single young adult longer than before, but the number of unintentional young adults single-person households is increasing depending on circumstances. As a result, the housing and catering business markets have changed, and ‘Life alone’ has changed the overall lifestyle of Korean society. In addition, policies for single-person households are required, so legislations are prepared, and support measures are being implemented through local government ordinances. Especially, paying attention to the increasing number of young adults single-person households, the President himself ordered the preparation of a policy package for single-person households. However, despite these social changes, it is difficult to find interest in the ministry methods of young adults single-person households in the church. The ministry not only of the church, but of young adults single-person households in a high proportion in the church's community, is very important. This is because, in the case of living as a young adults single-person household before leaving their parents and becoming self-reliant, they not only face various difficulties but also have a great influence on whether they are transferred to life cycles such as marriage and childbirth. Therefore, the church should prepare the ministry that meets their needs based on the understanding of the young adults single-person households. In this paper, two specific ministry methods for this are suggested. The first is the ‘Mission Home’ and ‘DAHAENG-Home’ for residential stability, which are considered to be the biggest demand for young adults single-person households. The second is career selection, social adjustment and marriage counseling.
