The young Christian generation faces significant challenges in maintaining spiritual independence amid rapid social and cultural shifts. At Beringin Private Middle School, students still struggle with understanding personal worship practices and show limited initiative in growing spiritually through shared prayer, Bible reading, and worship. The widespread and unregulated use of social media, along with increasing social problems, further threatens the ethical and moral stability of youth. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to raise awareness among Christian youth about the importance of cultivating an independent spiritual life. It also seeks to equip them with practical skills to develop consistent spiritual habits that strengthen their faith and character in facing the pressures of the so-called "strawberry generation," guiding them toward becoming part of Indonesia’s Golden Generation 2045. The approach used in this initiative is both participatory and educational, with seminars as the main method of community-based learning. The outcomes of this program indicate that participants gained not only new knowledge but also deeper awareness of the importance of spiritual independence. Their active participation in discussions revealed increased understanding of the negative impact of peer pressure and uncontrolled technology use, as well as new perspectives on how to overcome such issues.
