Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to determine the influence of interactive learning methods on the faith development of children in Sunday School at GBI Kota Raja Siantan, North Pontianak, Pontianak City. Christian faith education from an early age is a crucial part of shaping a child's character and spirituality. The interactive method was chosen because it encourages active participation, understanding, and comprehensive spiritual experience. This method includes the use of visual media, games, Bible dramas, and small group discussions in delivering spiritual materials. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and questionnaires given to 10 Sunday School children. The results showed that most children responded positively to the application of interactive methods, with 90% expressing enthusiasm for learning activities involving visual aids, and 80% reporting better understanding of biblical values through stories and games. The analysis using the Guttman scale indicated a very strong influence of this method on the growth of children's faith. Thus, interactive learning methods are proven to be effective in providing children with a more meaningful spiritual learning experience. These findings recommend that churches and Sunday School teachers continue to develop relevant, creative, and contextual learning strategies to shape a generation of children growing in faith and knowledge of God.
