Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning of religion within the social structure of Papuan indigenous communities. In this context, religion is not merely understood as a system of spiritual belief, but also as a social force that shapes values, norms, leadership, and social relations. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with indigenous leaders and religious figures, participatory observation of religious and customary activities, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis, and data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that religion plays a significant role in strengthening social solidarity, legitimizing customary leadership, and serving as a means of social conflict resolution. Furthermore, religion is integrated with local wisdom and contributes to the preservation of cultural sustainability within Papuan indigenous communities. This study affirms that the integration of religion and customary practices forms a distinctive, dynamic, and adaptive social structure in Papuan indigenous society.

Abstract

This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PkM) aimed to support children’s faith education through the implementation of creative and contextual Christian Religious Education (CRE) at SD Negeri 36 Kota Sorong. The activity was conducted on Tuesday, December 5, 2024, by lecturers of the Christian Religious Education Program at Universitas Victory Sorong in collaboration with CRE students. The main issue faced by the partner school was the low level of students’ interest and engagement in CRE learning due to the use of conventional and less contextual teaching methods. The program employed an educative, participatory, and contextual approach through interactive Bible storytelling, faith-based educational games, children’s worship songs, simple discussions, and reflective activities adapted to the developmental stages of elementary school students. The results indicated an increase in students’ enthusiasm, active participation, and understanding of Christian faith values such as love, honesty, responsibility, and mutual respect. In addition to benefiting students, the program also contributed to teachers’ insights into innovative CRE teaching methods and provided contextual learning experiences for students as prospective Christian educators. Therefore, creative and contextual CRE-based mentoring proved effective in supporting children’s faith and character development in elementary education.
