We have an unchangeable task for church growth. This paper aimed to
show that Christian education was the major factor of church growth, and
to reveal that Christian education was indeed required for authentic
church growth.
Investigating early church growth, we acknowledged that the stress on didache was predominating in early church. Education in early church was regarded as an elementary factor of the believers' life in church, and it was profoundly linked with worship. The important activities of early church in Bible were based upon educational ministry. It reveals intimate relationship between church and education.
If pastors hope that churches grow continuously, they have to work for believers’ spiritual maturity in each and every situation, and carry out their educational ministry so that believers will be reared well by the Word of God. We recognized that early church was education community as well as faith community. If pastors teach their congregations appropriately according to the word of God church will grow eventually.
