<![CDATA[The health of a church rarely collapses all at once. It usually erodes along three paths: ministers who grow exhausted and lose the warmth of their relationship with God, a ministry orientation that drifts from faithfulness to Christ toward the pursuit of outward achievement, and congregational conflict left to settle unresolved. This community service programme aimed to equip pastors, elders, and ministry volunteers at GSPDI Purwakarta to recognise and address these three paths. It took the form of a seminar held on Saturday, 3 October 2026, using interactive lectures and case discussion, with each session structured as 30 minutes of presentation followed by 15 minutes of moderated discussion. The material was drawn from three mutually supporting studies: a three-dimensional model of recovery from spiritual burnout, a theological critique of quantitative ministry orientation together with parameters of a healthy church, and a shepherd leadership model for congregational conflict management. Evaluation used pre-test and post-test instruments and participation observation sheets. The programme produced a three-layered framework for maintaining church health minister, orientation, and relationship together with follow-up proposals for the partner church, including a proposal that guaranteed rest for ministers be set as policy rather than left to personal intention.]]>
