The church should be the impartial community with disabled people in Jesus Christ. The church that distinguishes the people with disability is inappropriate as the community following Jesus Christ. The church of the new covenant community should treat the disabled people equally. The goal of this writing is to raise the church entirely as a body of Christ by suggesting a model of the healthy church that has impartiality among the disabled people in the communities of the church.
First, we will confirm that the Kingdom of God found in the New and Old Testament is the impartial community. Second, We will find out the picture of the Kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed through disabled people who are the people need to hear of Gospel and who are the people as messengers. Finally, we will research the elements of discriminatory in Korean churches, in recognition of the church members, in statistics, in Anti-Discrimination Against and Remedies for Persons with Disabilities Act, and in the duty and role of the church.
This researcher will suggest a solution that sorts out the elements of discriminatory in the church members in the way of improving the recognition of people to the disabled people, the ministry with disabled people, putting the duty and role of the church in practice impartially. We hope that this suggestion makes Korean churches turned back to the church following Jesus who loved the disabled people. The church should not show Inequality to the disabled but give them opportunities to contribute to extending the Kingdom of God as equal church members because the church is the body of Christ and the one community.
