Abstract

Character education has become a crucial issue in the context of modern education, where schools are expected not only to produce intellectually competent graduates but also individuals with strong character. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Christian Religious Education (CRE) curriculum and teaching methods on character formation among students in Christian secondary schools. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects were CRE teachers and students selected purposively, while data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model with source triangulation techniques to ensure validity. The findings indicate that the CRE curriculum has a significant influence on the development of students’ moral, spiritual, and social character. Participatory, contextual, and project-based teaching methods proved to be more effective in internalizing character values compared to lecture-based methods. The synergy between curriculum and teaching methods serves as a key factor in realizing transformative character education, enabling students not only to understand Christian values conceptually but also to embody them in daily life. The study recommends strengthening school policies, enhancing teacher competencies, and providing supportive facilities to ensure that character education based on CRE can be implemented more optimally and sustainably.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Christian values through Scout activities and its influence on students’ emotional intelligence and prosocial behavior. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the research involved junior high school students who actively participated in Scout programs embedded with Christian teachings. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires measuring the levels of value integration, emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills), and prosocial behavior (helping, caring, and cooperation). The findings reveal that the integration of Christian values in Scout activities positively correlates with students’ emotional intelligence. Students who consistently engaged in value-based Scout practices demonstrated higher scores in emotional regulation and empathy. Furthermore, emotional intelligence was identified as a mediating factor that strengthened the relationship between value integration and prosocial behavior. Students with higher emotional intelligence exhibited greater willingness to help peers, cooperate in group tasks, and participate in community services. These results highlight the importance of integrating spiritual-ethical values in extracurricular activities as a holistic approach to character formation. Scout activities not only enhance technical and leadership skills but also foster emotional growth and moral motivation, enabling students to act prosocially as an expression of faith and service to others.

Abstract

In the context of urban church development, cell groups play a vital role in reaching souls and building a strong faith community. This study aims to explore the contribution of cell groups in urban church development strategies amidst complex social, cultural, and spiritual dynamics. The method used is the library research method. The results of the study indicate that cell groups are not only a place for individual spiritual growth, but also function as a bridge connecting the church with the surrounding community. Cell groups are able to create a supportive environment for members to share their faith, facilitate Bible studies, and carry out social service activities. In addition, the existence of cell groups contributes to improving the church's vision, so that evangelism and missions can be carried out more efficiently. This study also identifies challenges faced in implementing development strategies through cell groups, such as lack of member commitment and differences in vision between groups. However, with ongoing training and church support, cell groups can overcome these obstacles and become more effective in reaching new souls.

Abstract

Hierarchical organizational frameworks. Such models are particularly vulnerable to the reality of spiritual degradation among both church leaders and congregations. In contrast, within a Pentecostal pneumatological perspective, leadership is understood as a manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s work, which is dynamic, active, inclusive, and transformative within the society, it cannot be separated from the spirituality of the Holy Spirit itself. This article aims to identify the relevance of the pneumatocratic leadership model, which positions the work of the Holy Spirit at the center of ecclesial leadership as the primary driving force across various aspects of life, with universal implications for society in the contemporary era. Utilizing a library research method, this article analyzes the characteristics and implications of pneumatocratic leadership as a transformational leadership model. The superiority of this pneumatological model lies in its charismatic, gift-based leadership within the church and the broader contemporare society. This article demonstrates that the pneumatocratic leadership model does not rely solely on structural power but is grounded in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whose implications extend universally. Therefore, pneumatocratic leadership offers an alternative paradigm that is highly relevant for both the church and contemporary society in addressing the holistic challenges of pluralism, secularism, and the dynamics of global contemporare development.AbstrakKepemimpinan memiliki peran yang sangat signifikan dalam setiap organisasi.

Artikel ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi relevansi model kepemimpinan pneomatokrasi yang menempatkan pekerjaan Roh Kudus dalam kepemimpinan gereja sebagai pusat penggerak di berbagai aspek kehidupan yang berdampak bagi masyarakat secara universal di era kekinian. Melalui metode riset pustaka, artikel ini menganalisis karakteristik dan implikasi kepemimpinan pneomatokrasi sebagai model transformasional leadership yang menampilkan relevansi pneomatologi pada sifatnya yang relasional, berbasis karunia Roh (charismatic gift-based leadership di tengah perkembangan masyarakat kontemporer.Artikel ini menunjukan model kepemimpinan pneomatokratik tidak hanya bergantung pada kekuatan struktural semata, namun bersandar pada pimpinan Roh Kudus dimana implikasinya menjangkau secara universal dalam menghadapi tantangan pluralisme, sekularisme, serta dinamika perkembangan kontemporer global.

Abstract

The role-modeling crisis among young people motivates this study to explore how Pentecostal church leadership can effectively engage Generation Z (Gen Z), a demographic known for valuing authenticity, empathy, and relational depth. With Gen Z increasingly present in faith communities, especially among university students, the research investigates how Pentecostal leadership values align with their spiritual and emotional needs. Using a qualitative method, this study combines a literature review with in-depth interviews with six Gen Z members from a Pentecostal church in Yogyakarta. The findings reveal that Gen Z resonates deeply with Spirit-led, inclusive, adaptive, and relational leadership. Respondents emphasized the importance of empathetic leaders who are present in real life and exhibit integrity and humility. They appreciated leadership that empowers participation, respects their individuality, and communicates spiritual truths in relevant ways. The study concludes that effective Pentecostal leadership for Gen Z must move beyond traditional authority-based models to embrace relational ministry grounded in spiritual authenticity. Such an approach not only nurtures personal growth but also fosters lasting engagement and discipleship within the church

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk merumuskan kembali makna luka dari sudut pandang teologis dalam konteks keluarga disabilitas. Disabilitas seringkali dipahami sebagai luka permanen dan tak tersembuhkan. Stigma sosial tentang disabilitas memengaruhi kebernilaian dan identitas keluarga. Dalam penelitian ini disabilitas dimaknai sebagai pengalaman psikososial dan teologis keluarga tempat dimana keluarga dapat menjalani proses pembaruan makna kehidupan bersama dengan Allah dan sesama. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif konseptual melalui studi literatur dengan integrasi psikologi keluarga dan teologi. Logotherapy digunakan sebagai kerangka teoretis untuk menjembatani proses meaning-making antara perspektif psikologis dan teologis. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa proses pemaknaan ulang luka membuka ruang bagi pembangunan kembali family self-esteem yang menjadi dasar pembentukan resiliensi keluarga disabilitas.
