Originating from the word "Katekese," this term is derived from the Greek language, namely "Katecho." When translated into Indonesian, it consists of "Kat," meaning downward/square/wide, and "Echo," which signifies proclaiming/teaching. Consequently, "katekese" in Indonesian means religious teaching or education, particularly for baptismal candidates, explaining catechism lessons to children, and the general public. In this context, katekese will be discussed in more detail, specifically focusing on "Family Catechesis," which forms the foundation of human faith.

One of the churches that performs services by utilizing the development of information technology is the virtual reality church pastored by DJ Soto. All services are carried out virtually. In its service information, this church offers water baptism sacrament services which are carried out virtually. This research aims to conduct a theological and scientific study of virtual water baptism so that it becomes input for believers and God's church. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, in which the primary data was obtained by means of literature review. The results of the study show that water baptism carried out by the virtual reality church has no biblical basis, so believers and God's church must reject this baptism.
