Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has reshaped contemporary church education, enabling wider access to theological resources while also generating challenges such as fragmented attention, weakened relational depth, and theological inconsistency. These conditions indicate the need for an integrative educational approach that unites theology, pedagogy, and digital engagement. This study aims to analyze digital andragogy as a transformative framework for strengthening spiritual formation in contemporary church education through the integration of Pauline theology, adult learning theory, and dialogical pedagogy. The study employs a qualitative library research method by analyzing biblical texts, theological literature, and scholarly works on adult education and transformative learning. Data were examined using interpretative and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Ephesians 4:11–13 emphasizes spiritual maturity (teleios) and equipping (katartismos) as the core of church education, supported by andragogical, transformative, and dialogical learning theories. However, digitalization alone is insufficient without theological depth and communal engagement. In conclusion, digital andragogy provides a comprehensive framework for holistic spiritual formation in church education, fostering mature believers capable of discernment, ethical responsibility, and active participation in faith communities
