Purpose of Research : This study aims to analyze a film that portrays the problem of community loss, a characteristic phenomenon of contemporary society, and to explore the role of the church in its restoration. Research Contents and Methods : Both Korea and the world are currently facing a crisis of subject alienation and community loss. While welfare systems are policies designed to overcome these situations, they reveal various limitations. This paper explores the concrete realities caused by such problems through the analysis of the movie "I, Daniel Blake." The film illustrates the potential for community recovery through mutual aid and solidarity, while also highlighting the limitations of such attempts. Consequently, it raises the necessity of reflecting on and practicing the community spirit of the early church to ultimately overcome the limitations of welfare systems. Results and Conclusions : In modern society, where subject alienation and community loss are accelerating, it is essential for the church to reaffirm and practice the community spirit of the early church to address these issues effectively.
