The purpose of this study is to study the experiences of online service during the COVID-19 and to find out Korean Christians' perception. To this end, this study examines the differences in online service content, interactions with pastors and lay people through online service, online service environment, and online service satisfaction. A survey was conducted for 176 Korean Christians over the age of 18 living in the metropolitan area. As a result, according to the size of the church attending, the period of faith, and the position, there was a difference between groups in the online service contents, interactions with pastors and lay people through online service, online service environment, and online service satisfaction. The factors influencing the satisfaction of online service were the interaction with the lay people, the online service environment, and the online service content in that order. Based on the results of this study, a discussion on the improvement of online service satisfaction and a suggestion for further research are presented.

With Covid-19, the era of Untact has arrived. Online is bound to develop because face-to-face has become difficult among the threats of the Corona virus. Even in this era, even worship services to God have been offered online. Teenagers, the generation most accustomed to online, seem to easily adapt to online worship. Online youth worship is expected to continue even in the post-corona era. If so, the theological reflection on whether online youth worship is possible is necessary. Through theological reflection, we need to secure theological justification for online youth worship, and strive to make it a better and more accurate online worship service. Online worship tailored to the eye level of youth and online worship that meets the spiritual needs of youth should be planned, prepared, and implemented. This paper presented the theological justification for online youth worship by looking at the definition of worship, elements of worship, places of worship, and history of worship. In addition, while examining the characteristics of adolescence, it suggested why online youth worship is important and necessary. Then, in order to plan online youth worship that is more advanced and more accurate than the online worship currently being conducted in each church, the reality of online youth worship was presented by examining the purposes, contents, and methods of online youth worship.
