Currently, Duraleigh Presbyterian Church (DPC) is growing in numbers, but the relational bonds between her members is weak; cooperation between officers are rare; and the members as well as the officers of the church including the pastor do not feel that they are being loved. This results in lack of a loving relationship among her members. The above phenomenon of DPC, the lack of a loving relationship or concern for one another is reflected in the fact that small group team ministry does not thrive in DPC. Ideally, small group ministry would flourish and would lead to spiritual growth and revitalization at DPC. The DPC would then be able to regain the shape of a loving community. When spiritual growth occurs that comes from team ministry centered on thriving small groups, DPC can be revitalized to become a dynamic church with motivation for missions and service. Stumbling blocks in the way of growth include ignorance of the current state of DPC and a lack of vision concerning for the future of DPC, as well as resistance to change on the part of members. Theological, biblical, historical, and cultural bases of small group ministry are examined in this study, as well as the positive and negative aspects of identity among Korean immigrants. The study suggests ways to bring about change. The study ends with a consideration of its meaning and significance.
