Abstract

Christian Religious Counseling for young men and women of the HKBP Pagar Beringin Church, Sipoholon District, North Tapanuli Regency, faces challenges in the digital era such as secularism, the influence of social media, and a crisis of faith identity among Naposobulung (aged 18-35 years unmarried), who are vulnerable to losing their passion for church service. This study uses a qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach with semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation during bimluh and services, and document analysis such as the Guidance Guidance Manuscript (BP) and the 2024 HKBP Naposobulung Guidebook for 25-30 informants from Ministry of Religious Affairs counselors, young men and women, and congregation councils. The results show that effective counseling through interactive methods (thematic Bible studies, group discussions, digital media) increases spiritual growth, service participation, and resilience to digital ethics issues and promiscuity, despite being hampered by cross-sectoral coordination and digital literacy of counselors. The synergy between IAKN Tarutung and the church has resulted in holistic empowerment, strengthening the regeneration of the church's three tasks (kerygma, leitourgia, diakonia).

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation and effectiveness of the Thematic Approach to Understanding God's Creation Days 1 to 6 in the spiritual development of early childhood education at Little Joshua Christian Preschool. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with observation, image media, and activity documentation. The results of the study indicate that the use of this thematic approach is very effective because it bridges the story of Creation with the sensory experiences of early childhood. Here, each day of creation (such as light and dark, water, plants, animals, and humans) is explored interactively and tangibly. Children show very positive and enthusiastic responses. This study found that the thematic approach to God's Creation is a useful and important approach for building strong Christian faith and fostering a character that appreciates the Creator's magnificent work in early childhood.
