Abstract

This study examines Christian parents’ perceptions of children’s faith formation within the family as an expression of Christian faith praxis in the context of the Protestant Church of Maluku. The study is grounded in the theological understanding that the family serves as a primary space for nurturing faith across generations within the life of the church. This research employs a qualitative approach using descriptive-analytical methods through interviews and document analysis involving church families. Data were analyzed thematically within the framework of practical theology and family theology. The findings indicate that parents perceive children’s faith formation as a spiritual responsibility closely related to life example, family worship practices, and the internalization of Christian values in daily life. However, contextual dynamics influence these practices, including social change, digital challenges, and limited theological understanding among families. This study contributes to the development of practical theology discourse, particularly in the areas of family theology and intergenerational faith formation within the context of local churches in Indonesia. Theologically, this study reaffirms the importance of the family as an essential space of faith praxis in sustaining church life and shaping the spirituality of younger generations.

Abstract

This community service study aims to implement the discourse idea of managing mission and church growth within the Indonesian Muria Christian Church, specifically at the Ark of God. The growth of church members enables the management of the church through mission and church growth, manifesting the love of God to others. This idea reflects the most excellent command of Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, which is the command to share our lives with others throughout the world. Therefore, the concept of mission and church growth invites management to apply knowledge in planning, implementing, and evaluating the program. This community service utilizes an outreach method to the church community. This method incorporates the results of mission management and church growth, as guided by the most excellent command of Christ. The conclusion is to present the eagerness of the church community to create the program as a practical program ahead of time.
