Seagrass beds are coastal ecosystems that have important ecological functions as a provider of habitat, food sources, protection, and reproductive areas for various marine life including Echinoderms. This study aims to analyze the diversity of Echinoderms and their relationship with seagrass distribution in Kiama Beach, Melonguane District, Talaud Islands Regency. The research was conducted in the intertidal zone at three stations using the exploration method with purposive sampling technique. Each station is divided into three plot installation zones measuring 4 × 4 meters, with observations made at low tide. Environmental parameters (temperature and pH), type and number of Echinoderm individuals, and seagrass species were recorded and analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index and product moment correlations. The results showed that the Echinoderma community consists of two classes and five species: Archaster typicus, Linckia laevigata, Culcita novagueniae, Holothuroidea scabra, and Holothuroidea forskali, with the Asteroidea class dominating (75%). The diversity index (H') value was relatively low at all stations with a range of 0.6261–0.6631. Seagrass beds consist of five species, namely Halophila ovalis, Cymodocea rotundata, Thalassia hemprichii, Halodule uninervis, and Syringodium isoetifolium, with the highest abundance found in Halophila ovalis. Correlation results showed a strong to very strong relationship between the abundance of Echinoderms and certain seagrass types (r = 0.77–0.99) as well as a strong correlation at the overall level of the station (r = 0.74). This study confirms that the presence and abundance of Echinoderms is greatly influenced by the density and composition of seagrass species. These findings provide important baseline data for the management and conservation of seagrass beds as a support for the sustainability of coastal biodiversity.  

In life as a congregation and as servants of God, we cannot escape conflict within the church. Sometimes, conflict is inevitable within a church. This is because sometimes things start out fine, but when conflict arises, each individual makes their own decisions. Some choose to remain on the other side, while others choose to leave the fellowship. This article aims to explain the factors that cause divisions in the church, specifically the GKSI Makarios church, and what actions God's servants should take when faced with such a situation. Of course, this article uses two sources to resolve this issue, namely interviews and data such as books or other reading sources that discuss similar events related to the topic. It is hoped that this article will be a valuable lesson for ministers and congregations in dealing with every situation in the church. It is important to discuss this topic in order to educate readers that disputes are inevitable in church organizations. Therefore, when joining a community, it is important to consider the best solutions for dealing with disputes so that one does not act rashly when trying to resolve problems properly.

Youth ministry plays a highly strategic role in the life of the local church, particularly in addressing the challenges of the modern era marked by rapid technological advancement, shifting moral values, and the declining spiritual engagement of young generations. This community service program aims to strengthen spiritual formation that directly enhances the activeness and commitment of youth ministry in the Gereja Kristen Setia Indonesia (GKSI) Air Upas congregation. The study employs a qualitative approach through literature review and limited field observation, focusing on analyzing spiritual needs, interaction patterns, and contextual strategies for effective discipleship. The results indicate that contextual, relational, and continuous spiritual development programs significantly increase motivation, participation, and a sense of responsibility among young people in church ministry. Furthermore, the support of church leaders and the active involvement of spiritual communities are crucial in fostering a Christ-centered service mindset. This program contributes to the development of a participatory and sustainable model of youth spiritual formation that can be applied in other local churches to build a generation of young believers who are spiritually mature, active in ministry, and committed to serving Christ wholeheartedly.

This community service activity was conducted in a Christian ministry institution located in Makassar City, South Sulawesi. The Student Creativity Program (PKM) was motivated by the reality that many people in Makassar have not yet known or believed in Isa Al-Masih (Jesus Christ )as Lord and Savior. As a city with a predominantly non-Christian population, evangelism in Makassar needs to be carried out contextually, wisely, and lovingly, without offending the beliefs of the surrounding community. The “PI 3 Saja” method (an acronym for Evangelism anytime, anywhere, and to anyone) serves as a relevant and effective strategy for reaching out to society. Through the 5P approach (Pertalian—Relationship, Peralihan—Transition, Penginsafan—Conviction, Pengabaran—Proclamation, and Penyelesaian—Commitment), this method emphasizes the importance of friendship, empathy, and naturally sharing the Gospel in everyday conversations. The purpose of this activity was to train participants in the institution to become contextual evangelists who can share the Good News without coercion, but rather through exemplary living and genuine friendship with others. The training and field practice results showed positive responses from the community, the formation of small discipleship groups (house churches), and an increased sense of courage and sensitivity among participants in sharing the Gospel in non-Christian environments. This activity demonstrates that evangelism can remain relevant and effective when it prioritizes love, relationships, and sensitivity to local culture.

Health care facilities are places used for promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative health services carried out by the government and the community. Calculating the germ count on door handles of healthcare facilities is very important, because patients are not aware that the door handles contain and transmit germs that cause infections. This study aims to determine the percentage of germ contamination on door handles of healthcare facilities at X Hospital and X Community Health Center. The type of research conducted is descriptive quantitative with an observational case report approach. This study is a frequency distribution in tabular form using a percentage formula. The number of samples used by the researchers was 8 samples, using 4 sampling points at the Hospital and 4 sampling points at the Community Health Center (Puskesmas): the Emergency Room, Main Door, Pharmacy Room, and Laboratory Room. Data collection by conducting laboratory tests on door handle swab samples was then examined using the ALT method. The results showed that the percentage of door handles that did not meet ALT standards was 3 samples (75%) at X Hospital. Meanwhile, on door handles at health facilities Puskesmas. The percentage of door handles at Puskesmas was obtained 4 samples (100%) at X  Puskesmas. Door handles at health facilities do not meet the standards of the Republic of Indonesia's Minister of Health Decree No. 1204 / MENKES / SK / X / 2004, the decision Ho was accepted H1 was rejected.

This community service activity aims to strengthen the leadership capacity of youth and congregations at the Faithful Christian Church of Indonesia (GKSI) Ampadi, West Kalimantan, through empowerment programs and training based on spiritual values. The church as a faith community has a strategic responsibility in creating leadership regeneration, but the reality on the ground shows that youth involvement in ministry is still limited. This service activity was carried out with a participatory and qualitative descriptive approach, through stages of observation, literature study, spiritual leadership training, cross-generational mentoring, and direct assistance to participants. The results of the activity showed that the low participation of youth in GKSI Ampadi was caused by a lack of structural development, the dominance of the senior generation, and the absence of a clear cadre system. Through a Bible-based leadership training program, the formation of an inclusive ministry team, and ongoing mentoring, there was a significant increase in youth involvement and synergy between congregations. In addition, this activity produced a leadership cadre roadmap as a strategic guide for the church in developing human resources for ministry. This service activity not only had an impact on improving the quality of service and congregational activity, but also strengthened the process of sustainable leadership regeneration within the local church environment. It is hoped that this empowerment model can be applied contextually by other churches to build dynamic, inclusive, and contemporary service communities.
