Abstract

This study aims to find out about the attitude of the Methodist Church in involving children to receive the elements of the communion. The Holy Communion is one of the two sacraments recognized by Protestant Christian churches. This Holy Communion is a direct command from the Lord Jesus to be carried out by His churches on this earth. This can be seen from the words of Jesus who stated "Do this in remembrance of me". According to John Wesley, communion is a suggestion of grace that God has given to every human being. That gift was given by God to everyone by God's will, everyone can receive it because that gift is God's love for humans through Jesus Christ who sacrificed himself as a way of salvation for mankind. According to John Wesley communion is a universal means of grace, therefore children may participate in the communion.

Abstract

Church planting represents a central dimension of the church’s mission, particularly within the Indonesian Methodist Church. This study investigates the correlation between Spirit-filled servants of God and the success of church planting in District 3, Region I. A quantitative research design was employed, in which data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 140 respondents. The responses were analyzed using correlation analysis to examine the relationship between the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and the effectiveness of pioneering new congregations. The findings reveal that the Holy Spirit plays a decisive role in the church planting process. Servants of God who are filled with the Holy Spirit demonstrate greater resilience, vision, and spiritual authority, all of which significantly enhance their capacity to establish new churches. The study concludes that spiritual empowerment is not merely supportive but essential in ensuring the effectiveness of church planting efforts. Moreover, the results suggest that pastoral leadership rooted in the Holy Spirit provides both theological and practical strength for overcoming challenges in mission fields. This research underscores the importance of integrating spiritual formation with practical ministry strategies, offering valuable insights for church leaders and theological institutions in fostering sustainable growth.
