Description
Summary:Many Korean immigrant churches recognize the importance of educational ministry in raising the next generation in faith. However, most of them do not have a culturally appropriate philosophy of educational ministry that considers the distinct Korean-American context. With an intention to help education pastors understand the cultural specificities of Korean immigrant churches and to connect those cultural characteristics with educational practices, the author has provided an educational ministry model for Korean immigrant churches based on Frankena's philosophy of education. Emphasis was placed on the specific contexts of Korean-American immigrant churches and the practical strategies for educational ministry within these churches.
