In this research, it has five main goals. First, it is to comprehend about healthy church correctly. Second, it is to consider and to compare church growth from the healthy church. Third, it is to observe the role of optimization model in the healthy church and the meaning of it. Fourth, it is to recognize a process of the church optimization from the healthy church in order to understand a condition of the church optimization and a stage of it. Finally, Korean Church gives an evidence for the growth and the development as the healthy church provides these factors through these data and results. As the healthy church kingly administers and serves God by experiencing the Presence of God, the church must consider intricate elements such as Holy Spirit, a pastor, a congregation, a local church, and a community. To be specific, Church Optimization Model means that the optimized condition, which a variable of a church health is equal to a variable of a measurement and a stage of the optimization is equal to a variable of the faithful life, is merged to the most effective and effectual way by a variable of a pastoral philosophy to create unification through Holy Spirit. In addition, the optimization model consists of combined elements such as a human, devotion, and innocence. It also forms a component of the Measurement that is equal to congregations, devotion, a purpose of visiting, and contents of a measurement. These factors are the same as optimization conditions and a church analysis which include visitors, a number of worshipping times, a number of visiting, and the amount of offering. Then, the optimization stage does not only go through a process for the congregation analysis that is equal to “pastoral image→visiting→settlement→nourishment→training→ministry,” but also go through a process for the pastoral analysis that is equal to “spirituality→pastoral leadership→worship,” “preaching→program,” and “church administration.” The subject of the optimization is based on the sovereignty and the providence of God. Subsequently, this model is relative, but no absolute. Overall, Church Optimization Model explains elements of the healthy church as above, and thus it can become a very useful mechanism that is available to the local church for applying to this model.

교회의 존재는 교인들로 하여금 “하나님 임재경험”을 통해 믿음과 순종의 삶을 살게 하는 것, 즉 하나님 나라의 왕적 통치 실현에 있다. 그래서 교회가 하나님의 나라를 지향하는 건강한 교회가 되려면 성령의 은혜, 목회자, 교인, 지역사회의 다양한 요소들을 고려해야만 한다. 이는 건강한 교회가 목회자나 교인들만의 노력으로 이루어지지 않기 때문이다. 그래서 건강한 교회가 되려면, 즉 하나님 임재경험과 하나님의 왕적 통치를 교회의 존재 목적에 적용하려면, 교회를 형성하는 요소들이 상호 협력하며 일체화가 되어야 한다. 이것을 설명해주는 개념이 바로 교회 최적화 모형이다. 최적화 모형(Optimization Model)은 최적화의 조건(교회건강변수)과 그에 따른 각 단계별 핵심사항(신앙생활변수)이, 가장 효과적이고 효율적인 방향으로 융합(목회철학변수)하여, 일체화된 상태(성령의 사역)를 추구하는 일련의 과정이다. 최적화의 주체는 “하나님의 주권과 섭리”에 근거한다. 그래서 최적화 모형은 가장 효과적이면서 효율적인 방향으로 융합하여 일체화된 상태를 지향하기 때문에, 절대적이라기보다는 상대적이다. 또한 최적화 모형은 크게 구성요소, 측정요소, 측정내용이 있다. 즉, 구성요소와 구성요소로부터 측정 가능한 개념으로 바꾼 측정요소와 측정내용으로 구성한다. 그래서 건강한 교회가 되기 위한 교회 최적화는 이와 같은 요소들을 균형 있게 설명하는 역할인 동시에, 개(個) 교회에 적용 가능하게 만드는 메커니즘(mechanism)이다.
