Pelatihan Peran Sekolah Minggu Dalam Pembentukan Karakter Sosial Generasi Alfa Di Klasis Lewa Rakawatu
Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) dengan topik Pelatihan Peran Sekolah Minggu dalam Pembentukan Karakter Sosial Generasi Alfa di Klasis Lewa Rakawatu dilatar belakangi oleh realitas kehidupan generasi alfa yang memiliki karakter sosial yang lemah. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kecenderungan generasi alfa yang dikenal sebagai generasi yang sangat akrab dengan teknologi dan dunia digital sehingga mereka menjadi sangat individualis, egosentris, takut berbicara di depan umum, kurang berempati serta kurang memiliki keterampilan dalam mendengarkan dan berinteraksi secara langsung. PkM ini bertujuan untuk memperlengkapi guru-guru sekolah minggu supaya mereka memiliki pemahaman yang konstruktif mengenai pembentukan karakter sosial generasi alfa dan bagaimana menerapkannya dalam pengajaran-pengajaran di sekolah minggu. PkM ini diikuti oleh guru-guru sekolah minggu seklasis Lewa Rakawatu. Metode pelaksanaan yang digunakan dalam PkM ini adalah seminar, diskusi kelompok, tanya jawab serta kegiatan praktis bagaimana mengembangkan karakter sosial generasi alfa melalui sekolah minggu. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan guru-guru sekolah minggu memahami dengan baik materi yang disampaikan terkait generasi alfa, karakteristik generasi alfa dan karakter sosial. Mereka juga merasa dibekali dengan strategi kreatif dalam pembentukan karakter sosial bagi anak-anak sekolah minggu yang merupakan generasi alfa.

Spiritualitas Kerja Dan Prinsip Keadilan Sosial
Artikel ini mengkaji spiritualitas kerja dan prinsip keadilan sosial melalui kegiatan pendampingan teologis bagi pegawai Kristen Koperasi di Bandung sebagai bentuk integrasi iman dan praktik sosial-ekonomi. Permasalahan utama yang diangkat adalah adanya ketegangan antara tuntutan profesionalisme kerja modern dengan integritas iman Kristen yang sering mereduksi kerja hanya sebagai aktivitas ekonomi. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah membangun kerangka teologis mengenai kerja sebagai panggilan ilahi (vocatio), menumbuhkan kesadaran etis tentang keadilan sosial dalam budaya kerja, serta mengembangkan model pendampingan teologis yang kontekstual dan aplikatif dalam lingkungan koperasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif-partisipatoris melalui seminar interaktif dan diskusi reflektif yang memungkinkan dialog antara refleksi teologi biblika-Reformed dan pengalaman kerja peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman kerja sebagai panggilan Allah mendorong transformasi sikap profesional menuju integritas, tanggung jawab sosial, dan solidaritas komunal. Koperasi dipahami bukan sekadar institusi ekonomi, tetapi ruang praksis iman yang mencerminkan nilai koinonia, keadilan, dan kesejahteraan bersama. Pendampingan teologis terbukti membantu peserta mengintegrasikan spiritualitas kerja dengan praktik profesional secara inklusif, sehingga pekerjaan menjadi sarana menghadirkan shalom Allah dalam kehidupan ekonomi kerakyatan dan kesaksian iman di ruang publik.

Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) di STT HKBP Pematangsiantar merupakan implementasi Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi yang mengintegrasikan pengetahuan teologis dengan pelayanan sosial. Program ini mengangkat tema "Pewarisan Iman dari Ibu (2 Timotius 1:3-8)" untuk menegaskan peran strategis ibu sebagai pewaris iman autentik dalam keluarga Kristen. Metode pelaksanaan mencakup pembinaan rohani, diskusi kelompok terstruktur, dan pendampingan mahasiswa sebagai fasilitator di HKBP Jati Karya, Resort Tandam Distrik XXIII Binjai Langkat. Evaluasi dampak dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif-reflektif dengan wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan analisis naratif terhadap pengalaman spiritual peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan kesadaran kaum ibu terhadap tanggung jawab spiritual mereka dalam mendidik anak, penguatan praktik devosi keluarga melalui peningkatan frekuensi ibadah bersama, dan transformasi pemahaman teologis tentang pewarisan iman dari sekadar ritual menjadi keteladanan hidup. Analisis eksegesis 2 Timotius 1:3-8 mengonfirmasi model pewarisan iman lintas-generasi melalui figur Lois dan Eunike sebagai paradigma pembinaan iman kontekstual. Program ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan teologi praktis dengan menghasilkan model pembinaan berbasis narasi alkitabiah yang relevan bagi konteks jemaat kontemporer, sekaligus memberikan mahasiswa pengalaman pedagogis dalam pelayanan berbasis riset. Studi ini memperkuat komitmen STT HKBP Pematangsiantar dalam membina keluarga Kristen melalui pendekatan integratif antara refleksi teologis, praksis pelayanan, dan evaluasi akademis.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat melalui Penguatan Bahasa Promosi dalam Kewirausahaan Produk Lokal
This community service program aims to empower micro-entrepreneurs in Wedani Village, Gresik, by strengthening their promotional language skills to support local entrepreneurship, particularly in woven batik products. The main problem identified is the low ability of entrepreneurs to develop promotional materials that are persuasive, communicative, and aligned with product characteristics. The approach employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR) based on the PEKA model (Productive, Educative, Creative, and Active), implemented through training, mentoring, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test methods. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ abilities to select suggestive diction, compose effective persuasive sentences, design slogans with sound patterns (assonance and alliteration), and construct rhetorical promotional narratives appropriate to various media. The average score of participants’ linguistic competence increased from 2.14 to 3.84. The integration of functional linguistics, classical rhetoric, and stylistics proved effective in enhancing promotional communication competence. This program not only produced more engaging promotional materials but also strengthened the verbal identity of local products. The proposed linguistic education model is feasible to be replicated as a strategic, applicable, and sustainable approach for empowering MSMEs through linguistics-based practices. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan pelaku usaha mikro di Desa Wedani, Gresik, melalui penguatan keterampilan bahasa promosi dalam mendukung kewirausahaan produk lokal, khususnya batik tenun. Permasalahan utama yang diidentifikasi adalah rendahnya kemampuan pelaku usaha dalam menyusun materi promosi yang persuasif, komunikatif, dan sesuai dengan karakteristik produk. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah Participatory Action Research (PAR) berbasis model PEKA (Produktif, Edukatif, Kreatif, dan Aktif), dilaksanakan melalui pelatihan, pendampingan, dan evaluasi berbasis pre-test dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam kemampuan memilih diksi sugestif, menyusun kalimat ajakan efektif, merancang slogan dengan permainan bunyi (asonansi dan aliterasi), serta menyusun narasi promosi yang retoris dan sesuai media. Rata-rata skor kemampuan kebahasaan peserta meningkat dari 2,14 menjadi 3,84. Integrasi teori linguistik fungsional, retorika klasik, dan stilistika terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi komunikasi promosi. Program ini tidak hanya menghasilkan materi promosi yang lebih menarik, tetapi juga membangun identitas verbal produk lokal. Model edukasi kebahasaan ini layak direplikasi sebagai strategi pemberdayaan UMKM berbasis linguistik yang aplikatif dan berkelanjutan.

Pengolahan Sampah Organik Berbasis Ecoenzyme: Implementasi Biblis-Praktis di Kecamatan Habinsaran-Sumatera Utara
The problem of organic waste in Habinsaran District remains inadequately addressed, particularly household waste such as fruit and vegetable residues. This community service program aims to provide a solution through the application of eco-enzyme–based waste processing using a biblical-practical approach, which integrates Christian faith values with ecological awareness. The program was carried out collaboratively between Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia and Trinity Parapat Theological Seminary, involving the Saurdot and Bersatu Farmers Groups. The activities included theological education on ecological responsibility and training in eco-enzyme production using fruit waste, molasses, and water. As a result, the community learned to convert organic waste into liquid fertilizer and natural cleaning agents while fostering faith-based awareness of environmental stewardship. Permasalahan sampah organik di Kecamatan Habinsaran masih belum tertangani secara optimal, terutama sampah rumah tangga seperti sisa buah dan sayur. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan solusi melalui penerapan pengolahan sampah berbasis eco-enzyme dengan pendekatan biblis-praktis, yang memadukan nilai iman Kristiani dan kepedulian ekologis. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan secara kolaboratif antara UNIKA Atma Jaya Jakarta dan STT Trinity Parapat dengan melibatkan Kelompok Tani Saurdot dan Bersatu. Tahapan kegiatan meliputi penyuluhan dasar teologis tentang tanggung jawab ekologis dan pelatihan pembuatan eco-enzyme dari sisa buah menggunakan molase dan air. Hasilnya, masyarakat mampu memanfaatkan limbah organik menjadi pupuk cair dan pembersih alami, sekaligus menumbuhkan kesadaran iman dalam menjaga lingkungan.

Optimaslisasi Pendekatan Psikologi dalam Mendukung Perkembangan Spiritual Anak di TK Kristen Pemulihan Barong Tongkok
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.

Penguatan Kompetensi Guru Sekolah Minggu melalui Pelatihan Teknik Mengajar Kontekstual di GPI Papua Eden Wagom
Sunday School is an important platform for instilling Christian faith values in children from a young age, especially in the GPI Papua service area. However, most Sunday School teachers, especially those from Eden Wagom congregation, lack adequate teaching techniques and are not yet able to implement contextual learning approaches based on local Papuan culture. This community service activity aims to improve the competence of GSM through training in interactive teaching techniques by utilizing Papuan folklore as a medium for Bible learning. The activity was held for three days at the GPI Papua Eden Wagom congregation, using participatory methods such as training, discussion, simulation, and direct observation. The training results show that GSM is able to understand and apply basic teaching skills as well as deliver material in an engaging and contextual manner. As a result of further evaluation, most participants have started to apply the trained teaching techniques in the Sunday school learning process. This training has proven to be very effective in supporting learning that is more relevant to the Papuan local culture and can meet the spiritual needs of Sunday school children. To improve the quality of teaching in the GSM GPI Papua Eden Wagom congregation, it is hoped that similar activities can be developed sustainably. Sekolah Minggu merupakan wadah penting dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai iman Kristen sejak usia dini, terutama di wilayah pelayanan GPI Papua. Namun, Sebagian besar GSM khususnya jemaat Eden Wagom belum memiliki teknik mengajar yang memadai serta belum mampu menerapkan pendekatan pembelajaran kontekstual berbasis budaya lokal Papua. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi GSM melalui pelatihan teknik mengajar interaktif dengan memanfaatkan cerita rakyat Papua sebagai media pembelajaran Alkitab. Kegiatan diselenggarakan selama tiga hari di Jemaat GPI Papua Eden Wagom, menggunakan metode partisipatif yaitu pelatihan, diskusi, simulasi, dan observasi langsung. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa GSM mampu memahami dan menerapkan keterampilan dasar mengajar serta menyampaikan materi secara menarik dan kontekstual. Sebagai hasil dari evaluasi lanjutan sebagian besar peserta sudah mulai menerapkan teknik mengajar yang telah dilatih ke dalam proses pembelajaran sekolah minggu. Pelatihan ini telah terbukti sangat efektif dalam mendukung pembelajaran yang lebih relevan dengan budaya lokal Papua serta dapat menjawab kebutuhan spiritual anak sekolah minggu. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengajaran GSM GPI Papua jemaat Eden Wagom, diharapkan kegiatan serupa dapat dikembangkan secara berkelanjutan.

Pemahaman Taurat dalam Terang Injil: Pendidikan Doktrinal Kontekstual bagi Pemimpin GBI di BPD Palu
This community service program addresses the theological confusion among GBI leaders in Palu regarding the relevance of the Mosaic Law in the light of the Gospel. The tension between legalistic interpretations and the liberating message of Christ has resulted in doctrinal inconsistencies within congregational teachings, especially concerning dietary laws and ritual observances. This study aims to develop a contextual doctrinal education program that equips church leaders to understand the role of the Torah within the framework of redemptive history. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the program included literature reviews, participatory observations, and semi-structured interviews. Educational interventions were delivered through interactive seminars, case-based discussions, and contextual theological reflections. The program was grounded in Robert Banks’ framework of theological leadership formation, emphasizing the integration of biblical studies, systematic theology, and pastoral application. The results show significant growth in theological understanding, with participants demonstrating the ability to differentiate between timeless moral principles and ceremonial laws fulfilled in Christ. Participants also showed readiness to implement the new understanding through catechetical materials and contextual teaching plans. This project proves that contextual doctrinal education fosters not only cognitive clarity but also spiritual and pastoral transformation, which is vital for maintaining the integrity and unity of the church's witness in pluralistic contexts. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini merespons kebingungan teologis di kalangan pemimpin GBI BPD Palu terkait relevansi hukum Taurat dalam terang Injil. Ketegangan antara interpretasi yang octrinal dan pesan pembebasan dari Kristus telah menimbulkan inkonsistensi octrinal dalam pengajaran jemaat, khususnya menyangkut hukum makanan dan ritus ibadah. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang pendidikan octrinal yang kontekstual guna memperlengkapi para pemimpin gereja agar memahami peran Taurat dalam kerangka sejarah keselamatan. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur, observasi partisipatif, dan wawancara semi-terstruktur. Intervensi edukatif dilakukan melalui seminar interaktif, diskusi berbasis kasus, serta refleksi teologis yang kontekstual. Program ini merujuk pada kerangka formasi kepemimpinan teologis dari Robert Banks yang menekankan integrasi kajian biblika, teologi sistematika, dan aplikasi pastoral. Hasilnya menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman teologis, peserta mampu membedakan prinsip moral yang bersifat kekal dari hukum seremonial yang telah digenapi dalam Kristus. Peserta juga menunjukkan kesiapan untuk menerapkan pemahaman ini melalui materi katekisasi dan rencana pengajaran jemaat yang kontekstual. Program ini membuktikan bahwa pendidikan octrinal kontekstual tidak hanya membawa kejelasan kognitif, tetapi juga transformasi spiritual dan pastoral yang penting bagi integritas dan kesatuan kesaksian gereja di tengah masyarakat yang majemuk.

Pelatihan Expository Preaching sebagai Strategi Pemberdayaan Pelayan Jemaat di GPIBI Immanuel Worship Yogyakarta
This community service program aimed to empower the congregation of GPIBI Immanuel Worship Yogyakarta in the ministry of the Word. Many members, especially youth, lacked confidence to preach due to the absence of formal training. There was also a common belief that preaching is solely the responsibility of pastors or those with special spiritual gifts. In fact, preaching is a communication skill that can be learned and developed. To address this need, an expository preaching training was conducted to equip participants with the ability to interpret Scripture contextually and deliver it systematically. The training methods included interactive lectures, group discussions, sermon simulations, evaluations, and mentoring. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and literature analysis. The results showed significant improvement in participants’ biblical understanding, confidence, and engagement in preaching, both in church and within their communities. This training strengthened a participatory and text-centered preaching culture, contributing to healthier and more contextual church growth. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberdayakan jemaat GPIBI Immanuel Worship Yogyakarta dalam pelayanan firman. Banyak jemaat, khususnya pemuda, merasa kurang percaya diri untuk berkhotbah karena belum pernah mendapat pelatihan formal. Masih berkembang anggapan bahwa berkhotbah hanya tugas gembala atau mereka yang memiliki karunia khusus. Padahal, berkhotbah adalah keterampilan komunikasi yang dapat dipelajari. Untuk menjawab kebutuhan tersebut, diselenggarakan pelatihan expository preaching guna membekali jemaat memahami teks Alkitab secara kontekstual dan menyampaikannya secara sistematis. Kegiatan yang dilakukan dalam pelatihan ini meliputi ceramah interaktif, diskusi kelompok, simulasi, evaluasi, dan pendampingan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, kuesioner, wawancara, serta analisis literatur. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman, kepercayaan diri, dan keterlibatan jemaat dalam pelayanan firman, baik di gereja maupun dalam komunitas mereka. Pelatihan ini memperkuat budaya pelayanan yang partisipatif, berbasis teks Alkitab, serta mendukung pertumbuhan gereja yang lebih sehat dan kontekstual.

Dari Dunia Bermain ke Dunia Firman: Pendekatan Interaktif untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Alkitab Anak GKSI Anugerah Limo
This Community Service Program (PkM) aims to improve Bible literacy among the children of the GKSI Anugerah Limo congregation through an interactive approach that combines play with an introduction to the Word of God. The low interest in reading the Bible and children's understanding of biblical narratives form the primary basis for this initiative. The community service team employed a descriptive research method using observation and field surveys. Based on initial findings, a creative approach was developed through educational games, simple dramas, and visual activities centred on biblical stories. This activity resulted in a significant increase in children's active participation, their ability to remember biblical characters and messages, and deeper emotional engagement with God's Word. The results of this activity indicate that a play-based approach is an effective strategy for building the foundation of biblical literacy in children from an early age. Therefore, this method is recommended for integration into Sunday school ministry on an ongoing basis. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi Alkitab pada anak-anak jemaat GKSI Anugerah Limo melalui pendekatan interaktif yang memadukan dunia bermain dengan pengenalan firman Tuhan. Rendahnya minat baca Alkitab dan pemahaman anak-anak terhadap narasi-narasi biblika menjadi dasar utama pelaksanaan kegiatan ini. Pengabdi menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan observasi dan survei lapangan. Menurut Sugiyono, penelitian deskriptif merupakan prosedur ilmiah yang bertujuan untuk memperoleh data yang memiliki maksud dan kegunaan tertentu. Berdasarkan temuan awal, dikembangkan pendekatan kreatif melalui permainan edukatif, drama sederhana, dan aktivitas visual yang bertumpu pada kisah-kisah Alkitab. Kegiatan ini menghasilkan peningkatan signifikan dalam partisipasi aktif anak-anak, kemampuan mereka dalam mengingat tokoh serta pesan Alkitab, serta keterlibatan emosional yang lebih dalam terhadap firman Tuhan. Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan berbasis dunia bermain merupakan strategi efektif dalam membangun fondasi literasi Alkitab anak sejak usia dini. Oleh karena itu, metode ini direkomendasikan untuk diintegrasikan dalam pelayanan sekolah minggu secara berkelanjutan.

Dialog Kerukunan Intern Umat Kristen dan Pembinaan Moderasi Beragama di Lingkungan Kantor Kementerian Agama Kota Jakarta Barat
The strengthening of internal Christian harmony and the internalization of religious moderation values are crucial aspects in fostering a harmonious religious life within pluralistic work environments, such as the Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in West Jakarta. This community service initiative was carried out in response to the challenges of denominational fragmentation and the potential for exclusivism within the church, which may hinder collaborative efforts in Christian public service. Employing a qualitative-participatory approach — comprising field observations, reflective dialogues, thematic workshops, and collaborative simulations — this program facilitated constructive and transformative interdenominational encounters. The outcomes demonstrated an increased ecumenical awareness among participants, enhanced capacity of Christian civil servants as agents of moderation, and the emergence of cross-denominational collaboration initiatives. Evaluation results indicate that internal Christian dialogue not only fosters inclusive theological understanding but also contributes to shaping visionary, tolerant, and integrity-driven civil servants. Recommendations include the development of contextual religious moderation modules for Christians and the expansion of program implementation to broader institutional levels. These findings are expected to serve as a strategic reference in designing religious development models that are responsive to pluralistic dynamics and the call for church unity in the contemporary era.

Peran Guru dalam Penerapan Mentoring di Sekolah pada Sekolah Kristen Nafiri Sion Tana Toraja
The degradation of young people's lives today may occur as a result of the progress of time and technology. The role of parents and teachers as mentors for them can help overcome the degradation of young people’s lives today. Teachers as mentors in schools today are facing increasingly challenges in guiding their students. Mentoring plays an important role in developing each individual’s capacity and competence in the learning process, particularly in terms of knowledge, attitudes, values, experiences, and wisdom. The success of the educational process in producing quality students can be influenced by the role of teachers as mentors. The urgency of implementing teacher training in the application of mentoring at schools is not only to remind teachers of their functions and duties as mentors, but also to encourage every teacher to carry out mentoring for each student. The method used in this activity is lectures and discussions. The activity was carried out at Nafiri Sion School, Kurra Village, North Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi. The writing method used is descriptive qualitative. Mentoring is a rational experience in which a teacher empowers students, helps each student understand their strengths and weaknesses, recognize their potential, and enhance their abilities through the mentoring process.

Pemuridan Organik Berbasis Anjangsono bagi Komunitas Isa Al-Masih dalam Penguatan Iman di Kebudayaan Kedar Bandung
The community of Isa Al-Masih followers from a Muslim background in Bandung, who have come to believe in Isa Al-Masih, faces various challenges in their spiritual growth. Their strong attachment to Sundanese-Islamic cultural values significantly influences both their faith development and their process of social integration. Therefore, this study aims to provide effective spiritual formation by implementing an organic discipleship model based on anjangsono (relational home visitation) to guide the community. This research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the organic discipleship model is more effective in strengthening faith than approaches that do not consider cultural aspects. The use of the Sundanese language, the integration of cultural symbols aligned with Christian teachings, and the application of familial relational patterns have proven to reinforce the community’s faith. Thus, a contextual discipleship approach enables the community to live out their faith more authentically within an environment still shaped by Kedar traditions.

Mengungkap Misteri Bunuh Diri di Kupang, NTT: Seminar Interdisipliner dan Rekonstruksi Komunitas Pemulih Berbasis Teologi Trauma
The seminar “MENGUNGKAP MISTERI BUNUH DIRI: Antara Trauma, Mental Breakdown, dan Jejak Forensik (Unveiling the Mystery of Suicide: Between Trauma, Mental Breakdown, and Forensic Traces) represents a practical theological response to suicide as a multidimensional crisis—psychological, spiritual, and social. This article presents a systematic reflection on the seminar using a qualitative-reflective approach within the framework of trauma theology. Findings reveal that suicide should not be interpreted merely as a personal pathology or faith failure, but as an extreme expression of disrupted meaning caused by unresolved trauma. The interdisciplinary intervention—clinical psychiatry, forensic medicine, and trauma-informed theology—created dialogical spaces that dismantled taboos, nurtured collective empathy, and restructured pastoral practices within the church. The study shows that today’s church must shift from normative proclamation to becoming a healing community that dares to dwell within wounds. This seminar emerges as an ecclesiological moment that embodies an alternative liturgy, not in sacraments, but in the communion of woundedness. The article affirms that evangelism in the age of trauma begins not with doctrine, but with presence, non-judgment, and narratives that embrace suffering as an essential part of Christian spirituality. Kegiatan seminar “MENGUNGKAP MISTERI BUNUH DIRI: Antara Trauma, Mental Breakdown, dan Jejak Forensik” merupakan respon teologis berbasis praktik terhadap fenomena bunuh diri sebagai krisis multidimensional: psikis, spiritual, dan sosial. Tulisan ini menyajikan refleksi sistematis dari seminar tersebut dengan pendekatan kualitatif-reflektif dan kerangka teologi trauma. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa bunuh diri tidak dapat dipahami hanya sebagai patologi personal atau kegagalan iman, melainkan sebagai ekspresi ekstrem dari keterputusan makna akibat luka yang tidak diberi ruang untuk dimaknai. Intervensi lintas bidang yaitu psikiatri klinis, forensik medis, dan teologi trauma, menghasilkan ruang dialogis yang mampu membongkar tabu, menumbuhkan empati kolektif, dan mereformasi struktur pastoral gereja. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa gereja masa kini perlu bergeser dari posisi pewarta normatif menuju komunitas pemulih yang berani tinggal dalam luka. Seminar ini menjadi peristiwa eklesiologis baru yang merepresentasikan bentuk liturgi alternatif, bukan dalam sakramen, melainkan dalam perjamuan luka bersama. Kajian ini menegaskan bahwa penginjilan dalam era trauma tidak dimulai dari doktrin, melainkan dari kehadiran yang tidak menghakimi dan narasi yang merangkul penderitaan sebagai bagian sah dari spiritualitas Kristen.

Percakapan Konseling dengan Masyarakat Akar Rumput (Termarjinalkan) di Kota Manado
Marginalised communities in Manado often face multifaceted challenges—economic, social, cultural, and spiritual—that restrict their access to basic rights and hinder personal development. Counselling conversations are introduced as a holistic intervention, addressing not only material needs but also emotional and spiritual dimensions. This approach aims to enhance critical awareness, build individual resilience, and foster spaces for healing and empowerment. Combining participatory and contextual methods, it involves the community actively in the counselling process while adapting interventions to their specific realities. Techniques include in-depth interviews, group discussions, and collaborative reflection to identify issues and co-create solutions. Findings show marked improvements in participants’ self-confidence, critical thinking, and capacity to initiate social change. Enhanced interpersonal relationships and a renewed sense of meaning in life further support their journey out of marginalisation. Counselling thus emerges as both a spiritual support mechanism and a transformative tool for inclusive community empowerment.

Pembimbingan bagi Generasi Z di GKSI Antiokhia Jakarta dalam Merespons Worship Apathy
The Indonesian Christian Faithful Church (GKSI) Antiochia, located in East Jakarta on Kalimalang main road, serves as the location for this Community Service implementation. Based on observations and surveys conducted, worship apathy among Generation Z appears to be quite significant, particularly in their involvement in Youth worship services. This condition is exacerbated by their high dependency on gadgets and social media, along with the minimal role of spiritual mentors in facilitating meaningful worship experiences. In response to these conditions, this Community Service program aims to fulfill the need for contextual worship guidance. The objective is for Generation Z at GKSI Antiochia to experience transformation in their worship life, understand the essence of true worship (John 4:23-24), and grow into a generation of faithful worshippers. The Community Service implementation employs participatory observation methods, personal mentoring, group discussions, and worship workshops supported by literature studies. The results demonstrate significant transformation in Generation Z's understanding and practice of worship, marked by increased involvement in church services and deepened personal relationship with God.

PEMBIMBINGAN JEMAAT DI GEREJA KRISTEN OIKOUMENE RIMBA BELIAN TENTANG REVITALISASI PEMAHAMAN PERNIKAHAN KUDUS
Holy marriage is an essential concept in Christian teachings, yet its understanding is often neglected by the congregation. At GKO Rimba Belian, revitalizing the understanding of holy marriage has become a significant focus in strengthening the moral and spiritual integrity of the congregation. The primary challenge faced is the lack of awareness regarding the importance of a God-blessed marriage and the ethical values contained in the Bible, as referenced in Hebrews 13:4 and Genesis 1:27-31. This research aims to guide the congregation in understanding marriage as a sacred institution that involves moral responsibility, reason, and love, as outlined in Colossians 3:14. Utilizing a participatory method that incorporates discussions, Bible studies, and direct mentorship, this research offers a comprehensive approach to educating the congregation. The uniqueness of this study lies in the integration of spiritual guidance and theological understanding of marriage, a combination rarely applied in church contexts. The results demonstrate an increased understanding of holy marriage among the congregation and a strengthened commitment to these values.
