<![CDATA[The growth of the congregation's faith is a vital aspect of church life; however, limitations persist regarding the understanding of God's Word, spiritual nurture, and the application of faith values in daily life. This study aims to analyze the role of the church minister as an educator in fostering the congregation's faith growth, the forms of nurture provided, and the supporting and inhibiting factors within the Dayak Borneo Church (Gereja Dayak Borneo), specifically the Pajaji Gulong Congregation in Menyuke District, Landak Regency. The study employs a qualitative method utilizing observation and a literature review approach, with data analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research gap lies in the limited number of studies addressing the integration of the minister's role as an educator with the congregation's faith growth within the specific local context of the Dayak Borneo Church, particularly the Pajaji Gulong Congregation. The study's novelty lies in its depiction of the minister's role as an educator encompassing the teaching of the Word, spiritual nurture, pastoral care, and personal example tailored to the local congregation's context. The findings indicate that this role contributes to enhanced faith understanding, spiritual maturity, prayer life, and the application of Christian values. Thus, the church minister plays a strategic role in advancing the congregation's faith growth through continuous, contextual faith education and nurture aimed at transforming the lives of the congregants.]]>
