<![CDATA[The phenomenon of feeling unworthy to serve in the church is one of the common struggles experienced by church members and ministry workers. These feelings often arise from various factors, such as past experiences, guilt over sin, social pressure, high spiritual standards, and inadequate theological understanding of God’s grace. This study aims to provide a theological review of the phenomenon of feeling unworthy in church ministry and to offer a biblical understanding of believers’ worthiness to serve. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach through the analysis of the Bible, theological literature, and the perspectives of Christian theologians regarding the calling to ministry. The findings reveal that, from a Christian theological perspective, worthiness for ministry is not based on human perfection but on God’s grace and calling. Biblical figures such as Moses, Isaiah, Peter, and Paul demonstrate that God uses individuals who feel weak and unworthy to reveal His power. Therefore, feelings of unworthiness should not become barriers to serving, but rather opportunities to depend fully on God. This study is expected to provide theological and pastoral contributions for churches in assisting congregants who struggle with similar feelings so that they may understand their identity and calling in Christ.]]>
