The values of tolerance among different religious communities can be developed through a moderate religious understanding. The officials of the Bethel Church Indonesia, as part of the Indonesian society and also as a church with a national orientation, play a crucial role in providing education to the congregation and the community, and can also serve as a driving force in strengthening religious moderation. Therefore, a foundation and understanding of how GBI officials can actively, inclusively, and practically contribute to achieving this goal are needed. This research employs a method known as descriptive research with a qualitative approach, where the phenomena or objects under study are clearly obtained.

Furthermore, providing an understanding to all officials that differences are a national wealth, developing inclusivism as an Indonesian cultural value through tangible actions like engaging in joint discussions, and conducting social activities together among communities and between churches and the community.]]>
