Abstract

Church management and administration play a vital role in supporting the effectiveness of ministry and congregational development. As an organization serving the community, the church not only needs a solid spiritual foundation, but also good management in order to function optimally in achieving its goals. This article aims to reveal the importance of church management and administration and how it can strengthen the church's ministry and mission in an increasingly complex and dynamic context. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analytical design, which utilizes literature studies as the main data collection technique. This study identifies various concepts and basic principles of holistic church management, as well as their application in church management practices. This article specifically discusses the role of management in managing church resources, such as human resources, finances, and physical church facilities. In addition, efficient church administration can improve services to the congregation, facilitate effective communication between church leaders and the congregation, and strengthen the church's organizational structure to achieve mission goals. The impact of implementing good management and administration is reflected in the increase in the operational efficiency of the church, which ultimately supports more stable and sustainable congregation growth. This article also provides insight into the importance of church leaders who have managerial skills to carry out administrative and ministry tasks professionally. In conclusion, this study confirms that good church management and administration not only strengthens ministry, but is also the key to accelerating the achievement of the church's mission amidst the challenges of the times

Abstract

Contemporary democracy often faces challenges in realizing inclusivity, particularly regarding minority groups’ access to the right to speak, participate, and make collective decisions. In this respect, this article examines inclusive democratic practices based on local values inherited from Minahasan ancestors, highlighting symbols and practices centered on the Watu Pinawetengan site. This research focuses on the Minahasan community’s acceptance of the Muslim immigrant community as a minority group that was vulnerable to being marginalized. Using descriptive qualitative methods and analysis based on Marianne Moyaert’s hospitality perspective, this article examines textual sources such as journal articles, books, and other relevant documents to understand how hospitality values are embedded in Minahasan social practices. The results show that deliberative practices at Watu Pinawetengan, where Minahasan ancestors divided territory dialogically and equally, symbolize a legacy of participatory and open democracy. These values continue to be lived out in inter-community relationships, including interactions with Muslims exiled to the region during the colonial period. This article argues that democracy can be constructed not only through formal institutions but also through the reinterpretation of local cultural heritage that upholds openness, equality, and hospitality across identities.
