Recently, one of the most significant issues in church management and growth is about traditional churches in a state of plateau or decline. Becoming a breakout church or a comeback church is, however, not a matter of church quantity (number) but of church quality (health). Why is a healthy-breakout church paradigm necessary (the why)? What essential factors should be revitalized to become a healthy-breakout church (the what)? What are essential strategies for becoming a healthy-breakout church (the how)? The primary aim of this study is to claim traditional churches can be breakout churches by revitalizing church health. For this purpose, this study is to discusses about the necessity of a healthy-breakout church paradigm, to synthesize vital factors of healthy churches, and to suggest essential strategies for the purpose of becoming a healthy-breakout church in the context of North American churches. On the assumption that Rainer’s model is one of the most well-balanced models for becoming a breakout church, the researcher suggests vital factors and essential strategies. In order to become a healthy-breakout church, essential components that are confirmed by scientific researches (i.e. Rainer’s model) need to be implemented and contextualized in the contemporary Korean context. In sum, revitalization of health in traditional churches is the pathway to achieve the vision of healthy breakout/comeback churches.
