<![CDATA[This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to strengthen the Christian identity of students at the Batam Institute of Technology (ITEBA) through a contextual seminar model based on an understanding of Christology and Soteriology. The background to this activity is the challenges of the digital era and globalization that influence the formation of Christian student identity, especially in the technology college environment. Therefore, this PkM activity is considered important by the Doctoral Study Program of STT REAL Batam. The goal is for Christian students to maintain a correct understanding of the foundations of Christology and Soteriology. The method used is a participatory contextual seminar with an educational-transformational approach, involving 40 Christian students at ITEBA. The implementation stages include needs analysis, module development, three seminar sessions, and evaluation through pre-tests, post-tests, spiritual motivation questionnaires, and qualitative reflections. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' theological understanding based on a comparison of pre-test and post-test scores. In addition, participant reflections indicated an increased integrative awareness between faith and academic life and a commitment to living out Christian identity in the context of technology and social service. Therefore, this contextual seminar model has proven effective as a strategy for fostering Christian identity in students at technology universities and has the potential to be replicated in similar contexts. This activity recommends that ITEBA integrate contextual faith development into its ongoing student character development program.]]>
