Abstract

Since 2021, in the post–COVID-19 pandemic period, the Gereja Baptis Indonesia (GBI) Solo has faced the need for regeneration of church music ministers due to the declining involvement of adult congregational musicians in worship services. This phenomenon has encouraged the church to develop church music education for Sunday School children as an effort to nurture music ministry from an early age. This study aims to describe the strategies of church music training for Sunday School children at GBI Solo and to analyze their role in developing children’s musical skills and spiritual character as prospective church music ministers. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted interactively, with data validity ensured through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings indicate that church music training is implemented through a learning by doing approach that is gradual, adaptive, and integrated into church worship activities. This strategy is effective in developing children’s musical skills while instilling faith-based values and character, including discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and humility, supported by synergistic collaboration among instructors, the church, and parents. The implications of this study suggest that experience-based and collaborative church music education can serve as a sustainable strategy for preparing future generations of church music ministers. The conclusion confirms that contextual and collaborative church music training strategies are able to effectively address the need for the regeneration of church music ministers.

Abstract

The sustainability of Javanese karawitan is increasingly challenged by cultural transformation and declining youth participation. While previous studies have examined karawitan in educational settings, limited attention has been given to its development within religious communities as a model of arts education and cultural preservation. This study investigates community-based karawitan education implemented by Rosa Mustika Laras at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Kudus, Central Java. A qualitative case study was employed using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through an interactive model, with credibility ensured by triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that Rosa Mustika Laras integrates musical instruction, cultural transmission, and liturgical inculturation through regular ensemble practice and intergenerational learning. Beyond supporting Catholic liturgy, the community actively promotes cultural sustainability through public performances, educational outreach, and institutional collaboration. These activities strengthen cultural identity, encourage community participation, and support the regeneration of karawitan practitioners. This study demonstrates that religious communities can serve as effective spaces for community-based arts education while functioning as agents of intangible cultural heritage preservation.
