Abstract: The Education Commission plays a vital role in the development of the Sunday School curriculum, essential for the spiritual growth and education of children in the Gereja Kemah Injil Indonesia Daerah 1 Sintang, Kalimantan Barat. This study aims to evaluate the contributions and effectiveness of the Education Commission in the curriculum development process. Using qualitative research methods, the study explores the commission's involvement in planning, implementing, and evaluating the Sunday School curriculum. The research underscores the strategic roles of the commission in designing a curriculum aligned with the church's vision and mission. It also examines the challenges faced during development, such as resource limitations, teacher competencies, and parental involvement. The findings indicate that despite these challenges, the curriculum developed by the Education Commission has been effective in enhancing children's understanding of Christian teachings and shaping their character. Nonetheless, continuous improvement is necessary, particularly in making teaching methods more interactive and diversifying teaching materials. This study highlights the importance of collaboration between the Education Commission, teachers, parents, and the broader church community to create a comprehensive and contextually relevant Sunday School curriculum. Addressing the identified challenges and leveraging existing strengths can further improve the quality and impact of Sunday School education in GKII Daerah 1 Sintang. This research contributes to the broader discourse on religious education and curriculum development in faith-based institutions, providing insights that may be applicable to similar contexts.

Abstract

The statement of Jesus in Luke 18:16, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them,” contains a theological message that remains relevant for the church throughout the ages. This study aims to examine the meaning of this phrase through a biblical exegesis approach, considering the historical, grammatical, and theological context of the Gospel of Luke. The research employs a qualitative method with historical-grammatical hermeneutics and a literature review on children’s ministry from a New Testament perspective. The findings indicate that the phrase emphasizes Jesus’ indiscriminate acceptance of children as full members of the faith community while rejecting any structural, cultural, or spiritual barriers that diminish the value and rights of children in congregational life. The implication for the contemporary church is the need to develop an inclusive, holistic, and child-friendly ministry in liturgy, education, and spiritual formation, as well as to remove obstacles that may hinder the spiritual growth of children. Thus, the message of Luke 18:16 provides a strong theological foundation for building a church that honors and empowers children as heirs of the Kingdom of God.

Abstract

This study explores BEKANA, a traditional storytelling practice in the Dayak Kebahan community of Sintang, as an ethnopedagogical method of informal education for preschool children. BEKANA is not merely a teaching technique but also a medium of communication that fosters closeness between parents and children while transmitting cultural values. In the current era of rapid scientific and technological advancement, children increasingly consume stories through digital platforms such as mobile phones and YouTube, which often lack cultural depth and parental involvement. This research aims to analyze the role of BEKANA in preserving local wisdom and strengthening parent–child bonds within informal education settings. Using a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving parents, community elders, and preschool children. The findings reveal that BEKANA serves as a vital tool for cultural transmission, character building, and emotional connection between generations. It provides children with moral lessons, linguistic enrichment, and cultural identity rooted in Dayak Kebahan traditions. The study concludes that revitalizing BEKANA in informal education can counterbalance the dominance of digital storytelling, ensuring that children not only learn but also inherit the cultural heritage of their community.
