Abstract

Faith and character development in secondary schools is an important foundation in shaping a young generation with integrity, faith, and the ability to face the challenges of the modern era. This article explores faith development strategies based on biblical values ​​to develop students’ character. The research method is based on a literature study with an analytical descriptive approach with theological literature related to Christian faith-based character education. The results of the study indicate that the application of biblical values, such as love (1 Corinthians 13:4–7), honesty (Proverbs 12:22), and responsibility (Colossians 3:23), can be integrated into learning activities through a reflective approach, teacher role models, and co-curricular activities that build a community of faith. The discussion concludes that the integration of faith and character education improves students' morality, while strengthening their spirituality, which prepares them to face cultural plurality and digitalization. A faith development strategy based on biblical values, therefore, ​​can serve as a model for effectively developing holistic Christian character in secondary schools.
