Abstract In this article, literature research is discussed on the dynamics and strategic models of the church in the mission movement during the Reformation era. The theological understanding of the church's practice of mission underwent a major shift during the Protestant Reformation. This included the shift in authority from the ecclesiastical hierarchy to the authority of Scripture and the emergence of new methods to spread the gospel. This study investigates how Reformation figures such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other reformers influenced the missions paradigm through their writings, teachings, and church structures. In addition, it investigates modelsof various mission strategies that originated from the Reformation movement; these include Bible translation, local congregation-based evangelism, and education as a means of mission. This literature review shows that the Reformation era created new theologies and church mission strategies that are relevant for today.    

Throughout history, the church has faced various social, political, and cultural challenges that have continued to evolve over time. The church has functioned not only as a religious institution but also as an agent of change actively responding to social dynamics. In its early days, the church struggled to maintain its existence amid political persecution by the Roman Empire, followed by a process of adaptation when Christianity became the official religion. During the Middle Ages, the church responded to cultural transformations such as the Renaissance and played a significant role in education and intellectual development, although it often clashed with emerging new ideas. In the Reformation era, the church faced an internal crisis that led to major changes in doctrine and religious practices.

Calvin's strategy in the development of Christian religious education in the Reformation era was key in forming a strong and sustainable approach to Christian religious education. John Calvin, a leading figure of the Christian Reformation in the 16th century, had a central role in advancing Christian religious education. He implemented a number of important strategies, including education for all, structured education, teaching of Scripture, training of church leaders, character education, involvement of church and state, and emphasis on local languages. These strategies help spread Calvinist theology and ensure everyone's access to quality Christian religious education. Calvin's influence on Christian education is still visible in various Christian education systems to this day. Christian religious education is education in Christian teachings that emphasizes aspects of knowledge, attitudes and values ​​and even skills that are based on the Christian faith itself.
