Religious people strive not only for personal religious salvation, but also for the welfare of their neighbors and the construction of a good society. Religious people's efforts to create an ideal society for their neighbors also contribute to the maturity and expansion of individuals and religious communities. The purpose of this study is to explore how religious people's practice of peace in the local community can contribute to the expansion of social capital of religious people and religious communities, and to provide implications for the future community activities of the FFWPU. Previous studies on religion and social capital claim that the social capital of religious people can only contribute to social development when it is circulated to the outside society beyond staying within religion. If I look at this argument in detail according to the three types of social capital, FFWPU members’ community activities can be categorized as three- 1) the personal relationship of religious people is closely connected with outsiders of religion (bonding social capital), 2) the group activities of religious people are connected with groups of non-religious people (bridging social capital), 3) the group activities of religious people are connected with higher level of institutions(linking social capital). I take the experiences of participating in the Seoul village community project of the FFWPU members as an example. In order to carry out the purpose of this study, social capital theory was used to classify the types of social capital into three categories. It is argued that it is desirable to foster bridge-type and link-type village community activities rather than bonding type village community activities.
