Christian leaders should prepare themselves to motivate people in every kind of circumstance. How can they be equipped with theoretical and practical knowledge of motivation and help church volunteers to be motivated? This paper has been written to contribute an answer to this question. In the first part, the writer presented five major motivation theories. Reviewing these five motivation theories laid the foundation for understanding the motivation of church volunteers. Second, literature of church volunteer motivation showed how those key issues are applied in the real context of a church. Finally, the application of the five key motivation principles was discussed for practical application in the church context. First, the study results showed that goal setting was a critical factor for church volunteer motivation. Second, church leaders must also improve the quality of relationship in a ministry context. Third, church volunteers are encouraged to actively participate in ministry. Fourth, a church should also creatively reward volunteers. Finally, church volunteers are motivated when they feel that they are spiritually growing and participating in church based activities. The five aforementioned factors will contribute to improve the motivation of church volunteers. Motivation is the key issue to effectively leading people to fulfill the desired goal of organizations. Hence, Christian leaders should acknowledge the importance of this topic and be equipped with knowledge in this field so that they can effectively work for their ministry.

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.
