Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Presbyterian church governance system, focusing on its structure, advantages, and challenges encountered in decision-making processes. The Presbyterian governance system involves the election of elders from local churches who form a session, with the pastor holding equal authority as a member of the session. This session manages the local church’s activities, while elders are also part of a presbytery and a general assembly with broader authority. The research employs a qualitative approach using literature analysis and case observations to understand the dynamics of church governance within a Presbyterian context. Findings indicate that the system supports wise leadership and church unity but faces challenges when decisions are influenced by financial power, leading to potential injustice and conflicts. The study’s benefits include a deeper understanding of how this system operates in practice and recommendations for improving conflict management and decision-making. The conclusion emphasizes the need for transparency, leadership training, and the establishment of advisory boards to ensure that church decisions reflect the needs of the entire congregation, rather than the interests of financially influential individuals.

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of Missio Dei in the Old Testament by emphasizing that God is the main Subject of the mission who works actively in human history to realize His plan of salvation. Through a descriptive qualitative approach and literature study, this article shows that God's work in creation, the covenant with Abraham, the liberation of Israel, the prophecies of the prophets, and the Messianic hope are integral parts of Missio Dei. God does not only act in the context of the nation of Israel, but directs His mission to all nations and creation. God's mission in the Old Testament includes spiritual, social, and ethical aspects, such as justice, restoration, and liberation from oppression. This article also highlights the theological and missiological implications for the church today, that the church is called to continue God's mission by being contextual, relevant to the digital age, and present in cross-cultural dialogue and service as a form of participation in God's work of salvation.
