The article explores the lifegiving holistic mission and strategy for the community in the Korean context in the global and ecological crisis era. The main body of the article consists of three parts. First, the paper deals with the issues of the Korean society in the global context and the responses of the Korean churches against them. The issues are as follows: the climate change and ecological crisis, widening of gaps between the rich and the poor in the globalization market system, conflicts of two Koreas, multicultural immigrants society issues in Korea, rapid emergency of the civil society as mission partners of the churches. Against the issues the Korean churches which have been fallen into scandals of bipolar tensions between the super and big churches and the small and selfsupportless churches in Korea, have lost energy to drive missionary activities to take measures to the issues. Formation of a new missional church in the view of community mission is asked in the Korean context. Second, the article discusses the lifegiving holistic mission for the community in which various organizations including faithbased organizations are active together for common good. The church mission for the community is necessary to be based on the mission of the trinitarian God of which the Holy Spirit leads the missions of churches for the community in the diverse ways of networks. The lifegiving holistic mission works for elevating quality of life of the community even in the ecological destruction crisis. Third, the paper suggests some strategies of the holistic mission for the community, analyzing mission experiences of three churches such as Bupyung Church (a small church in the city), Kwangyang Deakwang Church (a medium size church in the city) and Boryung Zion Church (a small church in the rural area) which are oriented to drive a lifegiving holistic mission for the community. In order to do mission activities in unity for the community the churches need to understand the solidarity concepts such as the covenant, responsibility for the other, and the conciliar process. Further the paper emphasizes the mission spiritualities for the lifegiving holistic mission for the community: incarnation of Jesus Christ and selfemptiness spirituality, integrity of worship in communication with community life, and the works of the Holy Spirit among the people of God.
