Abstract

The contemporary church faces serious challenges in carrying out a mission that is relevant within Indonesia’s multicultural and multireligious society. Although missiological studies emphasize the importance of contextualization, church mission approaches still largely rely on verbal and institutional methods that inadequately engage the everyday practices of the community. Meanwhile, the practice of shared meals, which holds strong social and religious significance in Indonesian culture, has received limited theological attention as a strategy for church mission. This research gap highlights the lack of exploration of culinary theology as a missional bridge that connects Christian faith with the lived reality of communal life in public spaces. This study aims to examine how culinary theology can be developed as a contextual and grounded approach to church mission through the practice of shared meals rich in theological, social, and missiological meaning. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research draws on theological, missiological, and biblical sources. The findings indicate that culinary theology functions as an effective missional bridge by creating inclusive and relational spaces where the values of Christian love, hospitality, and solidarity are experienced concretely. Integrating culinary theology enriches contextual church mission and encourages the development of culinary-based ministries as a tangible expression of God’s mission in society

Abstract

This study is motivated by the issue of the effectiveness of personal and mass evangelism in reaching a society that is increasingly complex in its social, cultural, and technological dimensions. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of both approaches and to identify synergistic strategies that can enhance the church’s mission outreach in a sustainable and contextual manner. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature-based approach, analyzing various theological and missiological sources. The thesis of this study asserts that personal and mass evangelism each have their own strengths and weaknesses, yet they can complement one another when integrated within a contextual mission framework. The findings indicate that the integration of these two methods can both expand the reach of the mission and deepen discipleship through relational engagement and the use of technology. The conclusion emphasizes that cross-institutional collaboration, evangelist training, and the development of contextual theology are key to an effective and relevant church mission strategy in the modern era. The study recommends that churches develop an integrative mission model that adapts to social dynamics and digital advancements so that the Great Commission of Christ can be realized effectively and sustainably
