<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the faith development of older adults through choir ministry at GKJ Petoran based on James W /. Fowler’s theory of faith development. The research is motivated by the phenomenon of elderly church members who remain actively involved in ministry despite age-related limitations, making it important to examine its relationship with faith development. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving seven active members of the Adiyuswa Choir at GKJ Petoran. The findings indicate that participants perceive choir ministry as an expression of gratitude, a form of devotion to God, and a meaningful way to embody their faith in daily life. Participation in the choir community also contributes to spiritual growth through fellowship, reflection on life experiences, and deeper engagement with sacred music. Interpreted through Fowler’s framework, the participants predominantly demonstrate characteristics of the conjunctive faith stage, reflected in greater spiritual reflection, acceptance of life’s complexities, deeper trust in God, and the practical expression of faith through service. The study concludes that choir ministry functions not only as a form of church participation but also as an important context for nurturing and strengthening the faith of older adults.]]>
