The implementation of Christian Religious Education (PAK) plays an important role in strengthening the spiritual growth of the congregation through Sunday worship as a means of continuous faith formation. This research and community service (PKM) activity was conducted at the GKSI Kampung Rama Church with the aim of understanding how PAK is implemented in Sunday worship and its impact on the spiritual life of the congregation. The method used was a qualitative-descriptive approach that included observation, field questionnaires, and literature study. The results of the study show that the church implements PAK through various elements of worship such as sermons, Bible readings, liturgy, praise, and special programs such as catechism, Sunday school, and cell groups. All of these elements complement each other to guide the congregation towards maturity in faith and a comprehensive understanding of God's word. However, there are several challenges in implementing PAK, such as limited teaching staff, lack of facilities, the influence of culture and globalization, and lack of support from families and congregations in spiritual guidance. To overcome these challenges, the Church has made several improvements, such as improving the quality of teaching the Word, developing participatory worship, utilizing technology to train ministers, and forming communities for spiritual guidance after worship. Through these efforts, the spiritual growth of the congregation has shown positive and more focused changes. Thus, the implementation of PAK through Sunday worship has proven to be effective in helping the congregation grow spiritually and strengthen their faith in their daily lives.

The development of social media as a space for disseminating information has presented opportunities as well as challenges in religious learning for students. TikTok, as a digital platform that is popular among the younger generation, provides a variety of Islamic content with the theme of fiqh and morals that have the potential to affect users' religious understanding. This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic content on TikTok with the theme of fiqh and morals on the religious knowledge of students of the PAI Study Program UIN Palopo. The research method used a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis of 268 respondents selected through random sampling techniques. The results of the study show that the content of fiqh has a positive and significant effect on students' religious knowledge, so that content that contains explanations of the laws of worship can improve religious understanding. Moral content has also proven to be significant, especially because of the presentation of moral values that are simple and relevant to student life. Simultaneously, the two variables contributed 61.3% to the increase in religious knowledge. These findings confirm that TikTok plays a role as an effective informal learning medium, although the limitations of the duration of the content make the understanding formed not always deep. This research implies the need to strengthen digital literacy and students' critical attitudes in filtering religious content so that the understanding obtained is more comprehensive and accurate.
