This study explores the trends and characteristics of domestic Christian dance research through a comprehensive analysis of 140 Christian dance-related dissertations and academic journals published in Korea over 33 years, between 1987 and 2020. The purpose of this study is to provide future research direction and contribute toward research development. In the research area, Christian dance papers was examined in the order of history, work, and recognition, and in the research type, analytical research was examined the most. We identified 140 published articles on Christian dance research: 97 master’s degree theses, eight doctoral dissertations, and 35 academic papers. We found that the master’s thesis was published most frequently in 2011, the doctoral dissertation in 2008, and journal papers in 1997, 2010, and 2016. We also discovered that the most published research on Christian dance applied to master’s thesis, worship and recognition to doctoral dissertation, and history to journal papers. In addition, the study established that the master’s thesis, doctoral dissertation, and journal papers were published the most in the analysis, qualitative, and analysis research, respectively. There was no significant difference between a dissertation and a journal paper in the field of Christian dance research at the domestic level. This trend analysis is expected to contribute to the academic growth and development of domestic Christian dance research.
