개척교회 목회자의 행복감에 영향을 미치는 목회변인 연구

Abstract

This study seeks to consider the fact that there are about 5000 churches pioneered each year, of which 3,000 churches are closed and that the proportion of A non-independent church is now more than 80%. Because of this, church planting pastors are struggling with the social cynicism of the church, their identity as a loser in the church, and their economically poor environment. This is the cause of stress, but it also serves as a meaningful process to establish the identity of the pastors who had planted the church, or as a pastoral role in nurturing them until they reach a level where they can serve local residents and communities. The basic assumption of this study is that if the pastor is happily ministered, the church member, the church, and the society will be happy. Therefore, this study attempted to investigate the pastoral factors influencing the happiness of the pastors who had planted the church. As a result of a survey of 408 pastors who had planted the church, they found that the difficulties in family, church, and community relations were a realistic dilemma. And the pastoral variables influencing the happiness of pastors who planted the church were included five factors such as happy friendship among church members, absence of difficulties in ministry, pursuit of data-based progressive ministry, sharing of ministry blueprint. The explanatory power of these five factors was 46.6%(R2=.466). The primary happiness of the church planting pastors had the characteristics of a bottom-up happiness approach that pursued ministry in the church-oriented dimension without any difficulty in ministry. And the Secondary happiness of the church planting pastors was had the characteristics of the top-down approach to happiness that pursues the ministry of public happiness value as a challenge to serve outside the church. What is important in the results of this study was the religiosity of a pastor who planted a value-based ministry to create a happy church member, a happy church, and a happy society through happy ministry. Therefore, it seems that there is a need to find an integrated happiness approach for pastors who have planted the church. Thus, the paradigm shift from the growth orientation to the ‘happy future’, ‘synergy’, ‘social capital’, ‘village revival’, ‘public happiness’ or ‘public theology’ or ‘building a christian culture’ are required. Moreoever, social science research for actual practice is also needed in the future.
