The rapid advancement of digital technology has reshaped the behavior and communication patterns of young people, including church youth who are highly active on social media. However, the lack of digital literacy and legal awareness often leads to the spread of hoaxes, unethical online behavior, and the risk of digital sexual harassment. This Community Service Activity (PKM) titled “Strengthening Digital Legal Literacy for Church Youth: Anti-Hoax Awareness and Prevention of Online Sexual Harassment under Indonesia’s ITE Law No. 1 of 2024” was carried out at HKBP Bethesda Perumnas Mandala Church, aiming to enhance youth understanding of the ITE Law and encourage responsible social media use. The activity was conducted through an interactive seminar and discussion involving 30 participants, focusing on three core topics: understanding the ITE Law, anti-hoax education, and digital sexual harassment prevention. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ awareness of digital ethics, legal responsibility, and strategies for online safety. Participants actively engaged in discussions, demonstrating high enthusiasm and comprehension of the material. This activity proves that collaboration between universities and churches can effectively promote digital legal literacy and moral awareness among the younger generation, supporting the creation of a safe, ethical, and law-abiding digital environment.

This training activity on application development using the Thunkable platform was designed to enhance digital literacy, logical thinking skills, and strengthen the character of adolescents through a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach. In today’s digital age, digital literacy is an essential competency, and equipping young people with the ability to create meaningful technology empowers them to be not just users but also creators of impactful digital solutions. The training took place on May 17, 2025, at a member’s house from the GKI Kasih congregation in Perumnas, Sorong. It was attended by 20 participants aged between 12 and 17 years. The choice of a familiar and friendly setting was intended to create a comfortable and collaborative learning environment. The training materials were structured step-by-step, starting with an introduction to the Thunkable platform, user interface (UI) design, navigation logic development using visual block programming, and culminating in group presentations and reflections on the final projects. The project theme chosen for the training was "Prophets as Role Models," aimed at integrating spiritual values and character development into an educational digital application. Through this project, participants not only gained technical skills but also reflected on the moral and inspirational values of prophetic figures in the Christian faith. Evaluation results showed that the training had a significant positive impact. Participants demonstrated increased understanding of app development concepts, were able to explain their project workflows and features, and showed high levels of enthusiasm and creativity throughout the process. Furthermore, character values such as teamwork, responsibility, and a strong learning spirit were fostered. This initiative serves as a concrete example of how technology-based education can be effectively combined with character formation. It also provides a replicable training model for other communities, particularly for church-based youth development programs that aim to nurture digitally literate and morally grounded future generations.

The increase in women's participation in the workforce has a significant impact on early childhood parenting patterns and the dynamics of household life. This research aims to analyze how career women apply parenting styles to young children and how this affects child development and the balance of home life. The study uses a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, starting with a quantitative approach followed by a qualitative approach. The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the parenting styles of career women, early childhood development, and household life. The research population includes career women who have young children at the GMIT Horeb Perumnas Congregation in Kupang City. The research results show that although career women face time limitations, they tend to adopt a democratic parenting style supported by caregivers or partners. Child development can remain optimal if communication patterns and emotional involvement are maintained. However, challenges arise in terms of emotional closeness and quality time. Therefore, adaptive strategies and family support are needed to maintain a balance between career and maternal roles.

Stunting does not occur in a short time, but is a long and repeated process of malnutrition starting from the womb. Efforts to prevent stunting can be done starting from adolescence. The health status of adolescents determines the quality of life as adults, especially adolescent girls. The most common health problem in adolescent girls is nutritional problems, namely anemia. Adolescent girls who suffer from anemia are at risk of becoming women of childbearing age with anemia, then becoming pregnant women with anemia, and even experiencing protein energy deficiency. The activity method is carried out by providing counseling using the Pocket Book on Anemia in the work area of ​​the Perumnas II Health Center to participants who attended as many as 30 Adolescent Girls. Community service activities have been carried out and have received a good response from adolescent girls.
