Abstract

The mental health of the congregation has become a significant issue as life’s pressures, such as loneliness and isolation, increasingly affect the life of the church community. A pastoral approach that is overly individualistic and pastor-centred tends to limit the community’s involvement in supporting congregants experiencing psychological or spiritual burdens. Yet, Paul’s theology presents the life of the church as the body of Christ, called to care for one another and bear one another’s burdens. This study aims to reconstruct Paul’s pastoral teaching on bearing one another’s burdens as a model of church solidarity that contributes to the mental health of the congregation. This study employs a qualitative method, utilising a literature review and theological analysis of Galatians 6:1–5. The findings indicate that Paul’s pastoral approach emphasises the shared responsibility of the entire Body of Christ in supporting the suffering of the congregation. This is because bearing one another’s burdens in Paul’s theology constitutes the biblical foundation for ecclesial solidarity, which positions communal life as an expression of love and the responsibility of faith. Mental health is understood not merely as an individual issue, but as a relational one that requires support, acceptance, empathy and the presence of the community in facing life’s crises. Therefore, a reconstruction of Paul’s pastoral care offers a model of ecclesial solidarity that affirms the church as a community that is present, supportive and mutually sustaining, in order to preserve the mental health and resilience of the congregation. Abstrak Kesehatan mental jemaat menjadi persoalan penting ketika tekanan kehidupan, seperti kesepian dan keterasingan semakin memengaruhi kehidupan komunitas gerejawi. Pendekatan pastoral yang terlalu individual dan berpusat pada pendeta cenderung membatasi keterlibatan komunitas dalam mendampingi jemaat yang mengalami beban psikologi maupun spiritual. Padahal, teologi Paulus menempatkan kehidupan gereja sebagai tubuh Kristus yang dipanggil untuk saling memperhatikan dan menanggung beban. Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi pastoral Paulus tentang saling menanggung beban sebagai model solidaritas gerejawi yang berkontribusi terhadap kesehatan mental jemaat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka dan analisis teologis terhadap Galatia 6:1–5. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pastoral Paulus menegaskan tanggung jawab bersama seluruh tubuh Kristus dalam mendampingi penderitaan jemaat. Sebab saling menanggung beban dalam teologi Paulus merupakan fondasi biblika bagi solidaritas gerejawi yang menempatkan kehidupan bersama sebagai wujud kasih dan tanggung jawab iman. Kesehatan mental dipahami bukan semata-mata sebagai persoalan individual, melainkan persoalan relasional yang membutuhkan dukungan, penerimaan, empati, dan kehadiran komunitas dalam menghadapi krisis kehidupan. Karena itu, rekonstruksi pastoral Paulus menawarkan model solidaritas gerejawi yang menegaskan gereja sebagai komunitas yang hadir, mendampingi, dan saling menopang demi memelihara kesehatan mental serta ketahanan jemaat.
