This study aims to analyze the role of the Articles of Association and Bylaws (AD/ART) in realizing an orderly and growing church. The Church as a spiritual and social organization needs an orderly system to achieve its ministry goals effectively and sustainably. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach, data was collected through literature studies, observations, and interviews with leaders and congregation members in several local churches. The results of the study show that AD/ART plays a role as a structural guideline that regulates the duties, authorities, and responsibilities of the ministry, as well as as the foundation of ministry ethics that maintains integrity and order in the church body. In addition, AD/ART has also proven to be a strategic instrument in encouraging church growth through long-term planning, leadership regeneration, congregation participation, and accountable financial management. Consistent implementation of AD/ART creates organizational stability, strengthens the church's identity, and increases the trust and involvement of congregation members. Thus, AD/ART is a crucial element in the construction of a healthy, orderly, and sustainable growing church.

The problem of education, especially in learning, is the low quality, relevance, and efficiency of learning so that the responsiveness and comprehension of students are very low. A learning approach is needed that fosters creativity and innovation in students, namely through the application of Contextual Learning (PKB). This article aims to explain the concept of implementing the Contextual Learning (PKB) model in the educational process in elementary schools. Contextual learning is an educational approach that allows instructors to connect learning materials with real-world scenarios and their relevance in the role of students as family members, citizens, and employees, while fostering active participation in the learning tasks required. The contextual approach (PKB) must be applied, because education is still dominated by the perception that knowledge consists of facts that require memorization. In this scenario, the function and role of the teacher remain dominant, so that students become obedient and uncreative. Students are expected to learn from personal experience rather than memorizing through this contextual approach. PKB emphasizes the importance of student involvement in finding material, highlights the importance of direct experience, and does not anticipate that students only absorb lessons; instead, PKB encourages students to actively seek learning resources. CTL improves students' ability to apply knowledge in real life, which shows that CTL not only aims for students to understand the topic but also understand how the topic affects their behavior in everyday life.

This community service program aims to internalize the exemplary values of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the commemoration of Mawlid al-Nabi as an effort to strengthen the religious character of the community in Bulusidokare, Sidoarjo. The main issue addressed is the tendency for Mawlid activities to remain largely ceremonial, thereby limiting their impact on shaping community attitudes and behavior. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving 45 participants consisting of community members and local leaders. The activities were conducted through stages of collaborative planning, educational sessions, interactive discussions, as well as reflection and evaluation.The results indicate a noticeable improvement in participants’ understanding of the Prophet’s exemplary values, accompanied by positive changes in attitudes and behavior toward more religiously grounded practices. In addition, increased community participation was observed, along with the emergence of individuals acting as local leaders who promote the application of these values within their social environment. These findings suggest that an educational and participatory approach is effective in fostering a deeper and more sustainable internalization of values.In conclusion, the program not only enhances knowledge but also contributes to social transformation through the strengthening of the community’s religious character. This initiative has the potential to serve as a replicable model of community service based on religious values in other contexts.

This study aims to analyze the extent to which community participation influences the public policy-making process in Indonesia. The public policy-making process encompasses a series of actions and decisions that lead to the development and adoption of specific public policies. Community participation is a critical element in this process as it aids in shaping, defining, and implementing policies that directly affect the community. This research employs a qualitative methodology, gathering data through in-depth interviews, document studies, and participant observations of stakeholders directly involved in the public policy formulation process. The findings indicate that while community participation is granted a significant role in policy formulation, several barriers remain, such as a lack of information, limited technical capacity among community members, and other structural issues that impact the level and quality of participation. This study advocates for increased transparency and openness of information, training and capacity-building initiatives for communities, and enhanced participation in the policy formulation process. It contributes to the literature on the role and influence of community participation in public policy formulation, particularly in the Indonesian context.
