Christian Religious Education within the family serves as the primary foundation for nurturing children's faith and character development. However, social changes, technological advancement, and parents' increasing responsibilities often affect the implementation of faith education at home. This study aims to analyze the role of parents in Christian Religious Education within the families of the Gereja Keluarga Allah Klaten congregation and to identify the factors influencing its implementation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with participants, observation, and literature review, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that parents function as the primary educators by providing Christian role models, establishing family prayer habits, reading the Bible together, fostering spiritual communication, and accompanying their children in spiritual growth. The implementation of Christian Religious Education is supported by parental commitment and church involvement, while obstacles include parents' work commitments, limited family time, children's activities, and environmental influences. Furthermore, Gereja Keluarga Allah Klaten serves as a strategic partner by providing various family ministry programs that strengthen children's faith formation. Therefore, the effectiveness of Christian Religious Education in the family depends on continuous collaboration between parents and the church in nurturing children's faith and Christian character.
