Abstract

The challenge of understanding the meaning of Easter in the context of moderate religious life is significant in accommodating the plurality of beliefs. Easter symbolizes transformation, forgiveness, and hope for humanity. Understanding these symbols can be a meeting point between various religious beliefs in a moderate religious life. Through important activities such as PkM in helping teenagers (BP. PAR) and Christian youth (BP. PAM) at the GKI Hermon Hollo Him congregation integrate Easter values in daily life and become witnesses of Christ in society. Activities are carried out using lectures, discussions, and question-and-answer methods. Through PkM, BP. PAR and BP. PAM GKI Hermon Hollo Him managed to deepen their understanding of the meaning of Easter, broaden their horizons about moderate religious life, and strengthen the concept of inclusiveness in the congregation. This improves relationships with God and others and enriches their contribution to society with the values of love, tolerance, and inclusiveness.

Abstract

This community engagement program responds to the declining participation of young congregants in meaningful worship at GKI Hermon Hollo Him. The activity aimed to strengthen the role of young liturgists and nurture the spiritual formation of the youth fellowship. Using a structured approach, including needs assessment, contextual material design, lectures, demonstrations, guided practice, and reflective discussions, the program equipped participants with theological insight and practical liturgical skills. Evaluation was conducted through questionnaires to measure comprehension and responses toward the training. The results show a marked improvement: most participants gained a deeper understanding of liturgy as a transformative encounter with God and demonstrated increased confidence in leading worship. The program successfully integrated theological learning and liturgical practice, enabling young members to serve with greater awareness, competence, and spiritual maturity. In conclusion, the activity effectively empowered youth as active agents in realizing meaningful and life-giving worship within the congregation.
