This community service project aims to enhance Sunday School teachers’ ability to use digital media as a tool for children’s faith formation in local churches. The rapid development of information technology requires churches to adapt their educational ministries, including children’s spiritual learning. The training was conducted at the Christian Evangelical Church in Timor (GMIT) Sion Noelbaki Congregation, involving 25 Sunday School teachers. The implementation methods included needs observation, interactive workshops, practical sessions on creating digital Bible content, and direct mentoring in using media such as spiritual videos, PowerPoint, and online platforms (YouTube, Canva, and WhatsApp Groups). Evaluation was carried out through pretest-posttest and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results showed a 78% increase in teachers’ competence in using digital media after the training. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm and commitment to applying digital media in their children’s ministry. This activity had a positive impact on improving the quality of faith education, making Sunday School learning more engaging, contextual, and relevant to children’s lives in the digital era.

Community service entitled Training on Making Miniature Fishing Boats Made of Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) for Students of SMKN 1 Tambakboyo, Tuban City With the background of the existence of Tuban City as one of the coastal areas which is still trying to develop its community resources in the marine sector. Several vocational schools in Tuban have opened shipping and shipping engineering majors. Generally, these SMK students are taught how to operate supporting equipment for repair or management of ship transportation according to industrial needs. The purpose of this community service is to provide skills to students, especially at SMKN 1 Tambakboyo Tuban on how to make miniature fishing boats made of Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP). Through shipbuilding skills that are more efficient in operation, it is hoped that the next generation of fishermen will have economic competitiveness because they are able to produce and use ships as efficient fishing facilities.
