Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development, and human physical wellbeing in societies around the world. Living in a global community and confronting people of diverse backgrounds, Christian educators are no longer allowed to deal with a distinct race and/or culture. In and out of churches, we often find ourselves communicating with many cultures. Therefore, an effort to promote cultural awareness among congregation deserves proper attention in the field of Christian education in order to prepare the present and future generations for life in this global community. For this very reason, the writer has attempted to deliver the importance of cultural awarenessfrom a Christian education perspective by doing a research on three things: first, the rationale of the topic in educational ministry; second, the findings from previous studies on this topic and third, the direction of the future studies and practices in Christian educational field. The underlying intention of this paper is to show how urgent the task of promoting cultural awareness is within the faith community around the global world.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
