This research aims to explore or analyze the narrative-based Christian education method with a focus on the story of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1-6) as a tool for character building among students. The narrative method in Christian education offers an effective approach to convey moral and spiritual values through meaningful biblical stories. Through an in-depth analysis of the story of Nehemiah, this study identifies character values that can be taught, such as perseverance, leadership, cooperation, and integrity. In the educational context, the story of Nehemiah illustrates how a leader can face challenges and inspire their community to work together for a greater purpose. This research also discusses the application of the narrative method in the Christian education curriculum, including teaching strategies that involve discussions, creative projects, and the use of digital media. With this approach, it is expected that students will not only understand sacred texts but also internalize and apply these values in their daily lives. The findings of the study indicate that narrative-based Christian education can enhance student engagement, strengthen their understanding of religious teachings, and build character aligned with Christian values. This research recommends the use of narrative methods in teaching Christian education as an effort to make the learning experience more meaningful and relevant in the modern era.
