The Tandak Timang tradition in Batu Badinding Village, Central Katingan District, plays an important role in fostering the faith of children aged 1-5 years, which is carried out by parents. From an early age, children are introduced to faith values through Tandak Timang verses that contain advice, prayers, and praise to God. This study aims to (1) describe the role of parents in fostering the faith of children aged 1-5 years through the Tandak Timang tradition in Batu Badinding Village, Central Katingan District; and (2) describe the values implemented by parents for children aged 1-5 years in Batu Badinding Village, Central Katingan District. The research used a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation.The results show that Tandak Timang plays a significant role in shaping children's spiritual foundation. Parents' roles are manifested through daily practices, such as singing, storytelling, and rocking children while chanting verses in the Dayak Ngaju language. This practice not only builds strong emotional bonds but also serves as an effective medium for instilling noble values. These values include cultural values, moral and ethical values, ancestral values, and spiritual values that teach children about the importance of prayer and hope in God.The conclusion of this study is that parents act not only as cultural inheritors but also as educators, role models, and facilitators. They utilize intimate moments when putting children to sleep—through singing, storytelling, and rocking—to instill faith values. The strong physical and emotional interaction builds a solid bond, making it easier for children to accept and internalize a deep understanding of the teachings conveyed. The Tandak Timang tradition is rich in noble values that serve as the foundation for faith formation. These values include cultural values, moral and ethical values, ancestral values, and spiritual values. The suggestions put forward are that parents should further understand the meaning of Tandak Timang for fostering children's faith from an early age, and pass on and preserve the character of children through this Central Kalimantan Dayak culture. For subsequent researchers conducting similar studies, it is recommended to develop the research objectives and focus more specifically on the research topics.

Artikel ini bertolak dari kenyataan bahwa banyak umat telah mendengar sabda Allah dalam Liturgi dan pengajaran Gereja, namun belum sepenuhnya menghidupinya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Situasi ini menegaskan pentingnya katekese sebagai proses pembinaan iman yang berkelanjutan, yang tidak hanya menekankan aspek pengetahuan, tetapi juga penghayatan dan perwujutan iman dalam tindakan nyata. Tulisan ini bertujuan merefleksikan katekese sebagai jalan pembinaan iman umat yang menuntun dari sabda menuju kehidupan. Fokus kajian artikel ini adalah peran katekese dalam membantu umat dewasa mengintegrasikan sabda Allah kedalam realitas hidup sehari-hari, baik dalam keluarga, pekerjaan, maupun kehidupan sosial. Metode yang digunakan adalah refleksi teologis pastoral dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi literatur gereja dan pengalaman hidup umat. Pendekatan ini menekankan ketertarikan antara pewartaan sabda, pendampingan iman, serta partisiasi aktif umat dalam proses pembinaan. Hasil refleksi menunjukkan bahwa katekese yang kontekstual, dialogis, dan berpusat pada sabda Allah, mampu menumbuhkan iman yang lebih dewasa, sadar, dan tanggung jawab. Melalui katekese, umat tidak hanya memahami ajran iman secara intelektual, tetapi juga didorong untuk menghidupinya dalam sikap kasih, pelayanan, dan kesaksian di tengah masyarakat. Pembinaan iman yang berkelanjutan menjadi sarana penting untuk membentuk umat yang tangguh dalam menghadapi tantangan zaman dan tetap berakar pada nilai-nilai injil. Dengan demikian, katekese sebagai jalan pembinaan iman memiliki peran strategis dalam menjembatani sabda Allah dengan kehidupan konkrit umat. Pembaharuan metode dan pendekatan katekese yang relevan dengan konteks umat masa kini sangat diperlukan agar proses dari sabda menuju kehidupan dapat berlangsung secara nyata, mendalam, dan berkelanjutan dalam kehidupan Gereja. Kata kunci: katekese, sabda Allah, pembinaan iman, umat dewasa, kehidupan kristen

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kode etik guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) dan keteladanan teologis dalam praktik pendidikan di sekolah menengah. Guru PAK tidak hanya dipandang sebagai penyampai pengetahuan kognitif, tetapi juga sebagai teladan hidup yang menghadirkan nilai-nilai Kristiani melalui sikap, perkataan, dan tindakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan kajian pustaka terhadap berbagai literatur terkini yang membahas etika profesi guru, teologi pendidikan, serta praktik pendidikan agama Kristen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman guru PAK terhadap kode etik masih bervariasi, mulai dari yang melihatnya sekadar aturan administratif hingga yang menafsirkannya sebagai panggilan iman dan tanggung jawab moral. Keteladanan teologis terbukti menjadi aspek penting dalam implementasi kode etik karena guru PAK dituntut untuk menunjukkan konsistensi antara ajaran iman dan perilaku nyata. Implementasi kode etik dalam praktik pendidikan terlihat dalam pengajaran, relasi interpersonal, dan kerja sama kelembagaan, meski menghadapi tantangan etis seperti dilema nilai, tekanan eksternal, serta pengaruh media digital. Temuan juga menegaskan bahwa kode etik dan keteladanan teologis guru PAK berperan signifikan dalam pendidikan karakter siswa, membentuk integritas, tanggung jawab, dan kepedulian sosial. Kesimpulannya, integrasi antara kode etik profesional dan keteladanan teologis memungkinkan guru PAK menjadi agen transformasi moral dan spiritual yang relevan di tengah kompleksitas pendidikan modern. Penelitian ini menekankan perlunya pembinaan berkelanjutan bagi guru PAK agar mampu menghidupi kode etik dan menghadirkan teladan Kristiani dalam proses pendidikan.

Stasi Ibu Teresa mendemonstrasikan bahwa prinsip-prinsip sinodalitas dapat diterapkan secara konkret di tingkat lokal, memberikan kontribusi pada visi Gereja Katolik universal yang lebih inklusif dan responsif.

Krisis ekologis di Kalimantan Barat, seperti banjir tahunan, deforestasi, dan pencemaran sungai, menuntut keterlibatan berbagai pihak, termasuk mahasiswa Katolik. Gereja Katolik melalui ajaran ekologi integral menegaskan bahwa tanggung jawab ekologis adalah bagian dari iman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan tingkat pengetahuan, kesadaran, gaya hidup, dan refleksi iman mahasiswa Katolik terhadap isu lingkungan. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan dari 34 responden melalui angket daring dan dianalisis secara statistik deskriptif. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden memiliki kesadaran ekologis awal dan bersedia terlibat dalam aksi lingkungan, namun belum sepenuhnya konsisten dalam praktik gaya hidup ramah lingkungan. Hanya sebagian kecil yang menerapkan kebiasaan konkret seperti membawa tempat makan sendiri. Temuan ini menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan antara kesadaran dan tindakan, serta perlunya strategi pembinaan iman yang mengintegrasikan spiritualitas dan praktik ekologis. Penelitian ini menjadi dasar awal untuk pengembangan program ekopastoral yang kontekstual di lingkungan kampus dan komunitas kategorial.

The digital era has brought profound transformations in religious life, creating both opportunities and challenges for the younger generation of Christians in maintaining their faith. The Toraja Church Youth Fellowship (PPGT) of the Buntu Masakke Congregation is one such community struggling to maintain the steadfastness of its youth's faith amidst the tide of globalization, the temptations of materialism, worldly positions, and the increasingly prevalent dynamics of interfaith romance. This reality drives the need for a faith training strategy that is relevant, contextual, and utilizes the potential of digital technology wisely. This study aims to implement an effective faith training strategy for PPGT through the use of digital media to produce church youth who not only unleash strength in faith, but also grow spiritually and are able to serve in creative and impactful ways in the modern era. This study used a four-month practicum method involving 22 active participants. Three training modules were implemented in stages: (1) Rooted in God's Word in the Digital Age, which encourages the use of Bible applications and digital devotionals; (2) Growing in Christ's Character Amidst Worldly Temptations, which emphasizes the values of integrity, faithfulness, and holiness; and (3) Serving with Creativity and Relevance in the Digital Age, which invites young people to produce digital content with spiritual value. The results of the study showed significant success, with 95% achieving “rootedness,” 80% achieving “growth,” and 86% achieving “serving.” In fact, 63.6% of participants experienced spiritual transformation and are now active as digital ministry drivers. These findings confirm that digital media, when utilized strategically and in harmony with Christian values, can be an effective tool in fostering the faith of the younger generation. Therefore, the church needs to develop a sustainable and contextual digital training model to strengthen the role of young people in current and future ministry.

Penelitian ini meneliti peran pemuridan gereja dalam mendorong pertumbuhan dan kedewasaan rohani jemaat, dengan menggunakan Gereja Gerakan Pentakosta Immanuel Bogor sebagai studi kasus. Gereja dipanggil untuk berfungsi sebagai sekolah rohani, memperlengkapi jemaat untuk menerapkan iman mereka dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan bertumbuh dalam karakter yang selaras dengan ajaran Kristen. Meskipun telah melakukan ibadah rutin dan berbagai kegiatan pastoral, jemaat sering kali tidak mengalami pertumbuhan rohani yang signifikan, yang disebabkan oleh kurangnya fokus pada program pemuridan yang terstruktur.Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif yang didasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip alkitabiah, penelitian ini mengungkapkan korelasi yang signifikan antara upaya pemuridan dan pertumbuhan rohani jemaat. Temuan-temuan menyoroti bahwa materi pemuridan yang sistematis dan relevan secara kontekstual secara efektif meningkatkan pertumbuhan rohani. Lebih lanjut, Efesus 4:11-16 menggarisbawahi pentingnya memperlengkapi jemaat untuk pelayanan, mencapai kesatuan dalam iman, dan menjadi dewasa di dalam Kristus.Studi ini menekankan perlunya pemuridan strategis yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan jemaat, yang mencakup anak-anak, remaja, wanita, dan orang dewasa. Penelitian ini menyerukan pergeseran prioritas gereja dari infrastruktur fisik ke pendidikan rohani para anggota. Selain memberikan wawasan yang berharga, penelitian lebih lanjut direkomendasikan untuk mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pertumbuhan rohani dalam konteks gereja yang berbeda, untuk memastikan keberlanjutan dampak pemuridan.
