Abstract

The collapse of the traditional village community have caused many kinds of mental, social and ministerial problems. To face these problems the movement of the making village(community building) is regarded as the good alternative. This paper is to investigate how the local churches should respond to this issues of the movement of the making village on the basis of case study of the Saerom Church in Gyunggi province. For the motivating and developing of the making village by the local churches,it is important to have a solid theological foundation and solve the practical problems. In this paper, we will present the theoretical and practical tasks of the local churches in four ways. Firstly, the minister of the local church have the ministerial theology as the mistry for the local community not only for the church itself and as the minister for the local residents not only for the church members. Secondly, we should theorize the theology of community including the local community. Thirdly, it is necessary to develope the networking including central government, local government, non-profit organization and churches in the local community. Lastly, we need to developing the strategy such as vision for the village, seeking the resources, building up the workers, seeking the communal work, making close relationships, training the root democracy and distributing the outcome fairy.
