Abstract

Artikel ini mengkaji fenomena perubahan nilai, ekspektasi, dan gaya hidup generasi muda di era posmodern, yang mulai mengambil peran strategis dalam kepemimpinan gereja. Meskipun gaya kepemimpinan kolaboratif dan partisipatif yang diadopsi oleh generasi muda sering kali berseberangan dengan struktur hierarkis gereja tradisional, mereka menunjukkan kesiapan yang signifikan dalam memimpin komunitas iman. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi tantangan dan peluang yang dihadapi generasi muda dalam membentuk identitas kepemimpinan yang relevan melalui pendekatan kualitatif dan tinjauan teologis-kontekstual. Kontribusi khas dari studi ini terletak pada pengusulan model mentoring dua arah antara generasi tua dan muda, yang menawarkan pendekatan baru dalam pembinaan kepemimpinan gereja. Kebaruan penelitian ini juga tampak dalam penekanan terhadap peran pemimpin muda sebagai agen transformasi sosial dalam isu-isu global seperti keadilan sosial, kelestarian lingkungan, dan kesehatan mental. Urgensi dari temuan ini bagi Kekristenan terletak pada perlunya gereja merancang strategi pembinaan kepemimpinan yang adaptif dan transformatif di tengah kompleksitas zaman. Rumusan masalah yang diangkat adalah: bagaimana generasi muda dapat mengatasi tantangan kepemimpinan dalam konteks gereja yang sedang mengalami perubahan paradigma.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of the philosophy of worship within Christian religious education in the church, emphasizing its role as a holistic expression of missional service in urban communities. The primary objective is to demonstrate that worship philosophy—when aligned with mission-oriented and pastorally focused teaching—embodies a comprehensive devotion of believers to God. This devotion is expressed through both worship and acts of service that exemplify Christian values, particularly within the complexities of urban life. Drawing on qualitative analysis of various literature sources, the study investigates how mission-oriented pastoral practices have been implemented in urban contexts, where congregational engagement is often hindered by fast-paced lifestyles and spiritual apathy. Despite these challenges, the research finds that many individuals have been effectively encouraged to re-engage with church life through intentional, spiritually grounded approaches that affirm God as the ultimate source of meaning and direction. The findings highlight that contextually sensitive mission services—especially those that are responsive and pastoral in nature—function as redemptive teaching tools. These approaches reawaken inactive congregants and foster renewed commitment to corporate worship. The study concludes that strategic pastoral outreach and mission care in urban settings can effectively revitalize worship participation and empower believers to live faith-filled, victorious lives

Abstract

This study examines how schools for students with special needs maintained quality assurance practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines the stages of QA planning, implementation, evaluation within the school accreditation process, and how school leaders viewed QA as a form of institutional accountability during a period of educational disruption. The analysis refers to the standards established by the National Accreditation Board for Schools/Madrasah which focuses on four major aspects: graduate competency, teaching and learning processes, teacher qualifications, and school management. As the demand for globally competitive education continues to grow, the Indonesian government has encouraged educational institutions to strengthen their accreditation systems. This has raised important issues, including the role of national accreditation bodies, alignment between local and international quality assurance (QA) standards, and recognition of accreditation outcomes across institutions. The study found that schools relied heavily on collaboration among teachers, principals, parents, and other stakeholders to maintain educational quality during the pandemic period.
