This community service was carried out at the Barong Tongkok Christian Kindergarten. This activity was motivated by the need to provide comprehensive support for children, particularly in spiritual and emotional aspects, through a psychological approach. Children at this school lack guidance that combines these two aspects, both from their family environment and at school, making it difficult for them to manage their emotions and develop spiritual awareness. In addition, learning approaches that integrate psychology and Christian values are still minimal, while teachers focus more on cognitive development. This programme aims to increase children's understanding of the basic principles of the Christian faith so that they can grow pedagogically and spiritually. Based on cognitive development theory, early childhood is in the preoperational phase, requiring concrete, direct, and interactive methods. Teaching faith through a psychological approach has been proven effective in improving understanding of Christian values. This programme is implemented in four stages: initial observation, implementation, follow-up, and evaluation. The novelty of this activity lies in the synergy between psychology and spirituality in the context of Christian schools, which is still limited. The results of this programme show an increase in children's spirituality, as seen in their ability to lead prayers, their enthusiasm for Bible stories, and their improved emotional management.
