Abstract

Amid the growing individualization of faith in contemporary church practice, the formative effectiveness of small-group fellowship is increasingly questioned and remains underexplored through empirical inquiry. This study critically examines the ICARE Fellowship as a relational discipleship model and its impact on congregational faith quality at the International Full Gospel Fellowship (IFGF) Ungaran. Employing a quantitative correlational design with 40 active participants, the study analyzes levels of fellowship participation, faith quality, and the functional relationship between the two using Pearson correlation and linear regression. The findings reveal a very strong and statistically significant positive relationship, with participation in ICARE Fellowship accounting for more than two-thirds of the variance in congregational faith quality. These results challenge individualistic paradigms of spiritual formation and affirm that relational, community-based discipleship constitutes a theologically grounded and empirically validated locus for sustainable faith development within contemporary Christian communities.
