The purpose of this paper is to propose methodology of a growth of the church which is necessary for Korean churches by describing and studying methods of relationships, nurture, services, mission works, training, etc. The Korean churches have gone through the growth and revival which are unparalleled in the world. However, there is a lack of the qualitative growth in proportion to sizes and numerical revival. It has been a long time since the churches lost its own missions in playing a role as light and salt of the world due to the lack of spiritual growth of Christians of churches.
