AB - The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed many functions of society with its rapid infectious and fatal symptoms. In the absence of vaccines and treatments, so- cial distancing and none-face-to-face contact became important personal quarantine. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, on-site worship and lunch fellowship are banned or limited in the church. The Korean church is facing a crisis that it has never been experienced. In this situation the sustainability of church is emerging from the reverse thinking. In a non-contact state due to social distancing, the church performs the online worship service instead of on-site worship and shares the fellowship through video calls to keep the communality of being one body of Christ. This paper will examine that the expansion of online worship and fellow- ship in a virtual space contribute to restore the essence of the church and the communality as the basis for church sustainability in the post COVID-19 pan- demic era. In addition the governance composed of pastors and lay members should not fall into pursue church growth and religiousity, but try to realize that the church is the community of life, and to establish a new relationship with the society outside the church with high morality. This paper aims to clarify that the sustainability of the Korean churchfacing the post COVID-19 era can be achieved in a cooperative relationship with a society based on communality through the organic worship and fellowship.
