One of the problems in pastoral care is not understanding the spiritual needs and character of each congregation. A pastor acts as a parent and teacher for his congregation. In the process, a pastor of the congregation often does not reach the ultimate goal of his pastoral care, namely the maturity of the faith of his congregation with a sign of changing earthly characteristics into heavenly ones. This is because there is no brotherly love and the pastor does not fully understand the spirit of heresy that develops in the congregation and how to avoid this error that starts in the church. In line with this problem, this article seeks to provide ideas and explanations about the role of the pastor as a parent for his congregation in facing the end-time character crisis. The research method used in this paper is a qualitative study with a literature analysis approach.

Abstract. The Koinonia ministry is one of the tri-duties of the church's vocation which at this time seems to have begun to weaken quite a number of churches due to the development of the times which requires that the koinonia strategy must be improved or in other words quality. Therefore, a quality Koinonia ministry is able to protect the congregation to remain faithful in fellowship. A good Koinonia is to divide certain categories to improve the quality of the congregation in its growth in quality and quantity. In this paper, I provide Koinonia services by dividing into five categories, namely: Child Category (Age 0-2, 2-5, 6-12), Youth Category (Age 15-35 years), Early Adult Category (Age 17- 22, 22-28, 28-33, 40-45 years), Middle Adult Category (45-65 years old), and Advanced Adult Category (over 60 years old). Each category has its own portion and needs according to their psychological condition and situation, which should be seen from the point of view of their age. This will make it easier for the church to improve or even improve the quality of Koinonia's service to the congregation, especially in today's churches that require an increase in their Koinonia.
