Abstract

This research seeks to analyze, from a theological perspective, the importance of the quality of Christian Religious Education teachers in shaping students’ character based on James 3:1. The background of this study stems from the urgent need for teachers who possess integrity, strong spiritual competence, and the ability to serve as moral and spiritual role models for students. In many educational contexts, the poor quality of teachers remains a critical issue that contributes to the inadequate development of students’ Christian character, particularly in terms of faith formation, moral behavior, and spiritual growth. This study employs a qualitative research approach using literature review methods, biblical text analysis, and theological interpretation to examine the relationship between teacher quality and character formation. The findings indicate that the quality of Christian Religious Education teachers plays a significant role in shaping students’ faith, morality, and spirituality, as teachers function not only as knowledge transmitters but also as spiritual guides. Therefore, the study concludes that improving teacher quality through continuous competence development, strengthening personal integrity, and enhancing exemplary conduct is essential. Such efforts are necessary to ensure that Christian Religious Education becomes more relevant, transformative, and sustainable in guiding students’ character formation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the ethics of Christian Religious Education teachers based on James 3:1, which emphasizes the great responsibility carried by those who teach in the context of educational ministry. The research aims to examine the relevance of biblical principles regarding the role and duties of teachers with the implementation of the professional code of ethics for Christian Religious Education teachers in Indonesia. Teachers are not only responsible for delivering academic knowledge but also serve as moral and spiritual role models whose words, attitudes, and actions significantly influence students’ faith development. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method through literature analysis, including the interpretation of James 3:1, ethical guidelines, and theological-pedagogical studies. The findings show that James 3:1 provides a strong warning for teachers to be cautious, responsible, and accountable in their teaching practices, as their judgment before God is greater. In conclusion, the ethics of Christian Religious Education teachers reflect their faith commitment in carrying out their responsibilities with integrity.

Abstract

The diversity of students’ study motivations in theological higher education presents both challenges and opportunities in shaping the spirituality of prospective Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers. Not all students enter the CRE program based on a calling to ministry, resulting in varying levels of initial spiritual readiness. This study aims to analyze the process of spiritual formation among CRE students as prospective teachers at STT Katharos Indonesia Bekasi in the context of diverse study motivations, referring to James W. Fowler’s theory of faith development. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving CRE students. The findings reveal that despite diverse initial motivations, the integrated theological education process through academic learning, ministry practices, community life, and spiritual formation effectively fosters faith growth and personal encounters with Christ. This process contributes to the development of students’ spiritual maturity. The study concludes that CRE education functions as an effective means of faith transformation in preparing prospective teachers with strong spiritual integrity and readiness for ministry.
