ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to consider preventive and therapeutic interventions on the Christian counseling perspective by understanding the factors that cause burnout of youth church volunteer and the development process of it. In order to understand the ‘how’ and ‘why’ burnout of youth church volunteer occurred and developed, the factors causing burnout and the development process of three main symptoms were analyzed and generalized. As a result of the study, the factors of it was classified into individual, organizational and sociocultural dimensions, and the main symptoms developed into 'reduced personal accomplishment'-'emotional exhaustion'-'depersonalization’. This was related to the participant's personal factors, the nature of faith and motives for volunteering, and the unique background of the Korean church, characteristics of Millennials, and social phenomena related to youth unemployment. Christian counseling was proposed in 'life, relationship, and self', and it was a practical experience of God's presence through Sabbath, restoration of the narrative of Christ through empathy of God, and restoration of the image of God from self-discord in one's life.
