Abstract

The mental health crisis among youth has become a critical challenge for the contemporarychurch, including within the community of New Creation Church Manado. Many young peopleare struggling with emotional wounds stemming from broken homes, addiction to games andpornography, social pressure, depression, and guilt. This study aims to construct atheological framework of mental health rooted in grace, using a pastoral-constructive andintegrative approach that is contextually relevant. Through field observations and reflectivequalitative analysis, the study formulates five foundational pillars: (1) grace theology as thebasis of identity, (2) grace as a rejection of stigma and a path toward self-acceptance, (3)ecclesiology of grace as a healing community, (4) integration of theology and psychology insoul care, and (5) the healing journey from fallibility to fulfillment in Christ. The findingsshow that the local church can actively function as a healing community by embodying aculture of grace, embracing process, and cultivating hope beyond moralism. Thus, grace isnot merely a doctrine of salvation, but a holistic and sustainable path of soul restoration.

Abstract

Organic church and church management are often viewed as two opposing approaches: one emphasizes spiritual vitality and relational community life, while the other focuses on structure, planning, and organizational sustainability. This study argues that these approaches need not be placed in tension; rather, they can be integrated into a coherent and holistic framework of ministry. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature analysis, this research explores how the concept of the organic church in New Testament ecclesiology can be integrated with key principles of modern church management. Insights from Bonhoeffer (1954) on communal life, Erickson (1998) on the nature of the body of Christ, and Tomatala (2014) on congregational development provide the foundational basis for this integrative model. The findings indicate that the organic church contributes life, relational depth, and the dynamic work of the Holy Spirit, whereas church management offers direction, coordination, and the structural space needed for spiritual gifts to function. Together, these dimensions produce a living structure that is flexible, relational, theological, and accountable. The study concludes that the contemporary church requires structures that support life rather than replace it.
