Abstract

This research explores the uniqueness and philosophy of the Bukit Rhema Chicken Church in Magelang, Central Java, which has an iconic pigeon-shaped architecture. Based on a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study identifies the main functions of the Rhema Hill Church, its architectural design background, and its impact on the economic, cultural, and spiritual life of the surrounding community. The church was designed as a universal house of prayer that symbolizes peace and hope. Apart from being a place of worship, the Chicken Church also functions as a tourist destination, rehabilitation center, and symbol of tolerance between religious communities. Its impact includes improving the local economy through tourism, interfaith cultural integration, and strengthening the spiritual life of local communities. The results of this study reveal how the symbolism and design of the Bukit Rhema Church are able to create harmony between religious, educational, and tourism functions. These findings show that the existence of the Chicken Church is not only aesthetically valuable, but also plays an important role in strengthening local identity as well as encouraging sustainable social collaboration. In addition, the existence of educational facilities and a reflection room in the building also provides a more immersive spiritual experience for visitors, so that the Bukit Rhema Church becomes an inclusive space for various groups.
