The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the need for the Holy Spirit in Christian education, and to discuss how the Spirit works in the various phases of the teaching-learning process. There has been a reduction of the number of youth in the Korean church due to the chaos and conflict in their identity of Christian faith. It can be said that there has been a blind spot in the ministry of the church for youth. For these reasons, it is within this confusion of Christian identity that the Korean church currently finds itself with the need to develop a new paradigm of Christian education that stays true to Christian teachings while also reaching out to the needs of young people. Therefore, the church must have a dynamic concern for youth education. The two indispensable factors that make Christian education dynamic, and at the same time distinctive, are ① the centrality of God’s written revelation, and ② the ministry of the Holy Spirit. These are the dynamics of Christian education. The teenage years is a decisive period in the set up of life direction. In this sense, providing Christian religious education for teens living the Christian life has a very important meaning for people working in the Christian educational field. Therefore developing the direction of teen Christian education and strategy is the most important task. Therefore, this study focuses on finding new practical educational methodologies that embrace both Christian education principles and the cultural needs of young people. Spiritual Growth and Necessity of Christian Youth education are examined in this study. Following this examination, this study will look into principles for faith growth and the ministry of the Holy Spirit and what role the church and its curriculum must play in its education geared toward helping its members lead a more Christian life in the Bible. Finally, there will be a discussion on the method and direction of Christian education and a challenge to the church.
