The purpose of evaluating the Guidance and Counseling (BK) program at SMP Negeri 2 Ambarawa during the pandemic is to evaluate the context, input, process and product of the guidance and counseling program during the pandemic. This research is evaluative research. The principal provides full support in implementing counseling services during the pandemic by providing a schedule and budget allocation. The ratio of counseling teachers to students is fulfilled by the presence of school counselors with a background in counseling education. Facilities and infrastructure are in good condition, but do not yet have a special counseling room. BK services are carried out with the help of applications, namely Google classroom, and google forms used by school counselors for delivery systems in service activities with asynchronous types and in synchronous types using WhatsApp, Zoom or Google Meet depending on the agreement between teachers and students. The problems experienced in the implementation of online counseling services are less than optimal since not all students have devices. The essential material compiled by the MGBK is less appropriate to use, it is more appropriate to use a needs assessment of students to develop a BK program. School counselors provide time for learners to consult with flexible time, either through in-person or device-assisted.

This article discusses the identity of the church Pasamuwan Kristen (community members) of Gereja Kristen Jawa/Java Christian Church (GKJ) Margoyudan, Surakarta, Central Java. Pasamuan Kristen GKJ Margoyudan’s identity construction is based on two factors: internal identity and external identity. By employing documents/literature review and in-depth interviews, this research found that the construction of internal identities of Pasamuan Kristen GKJ Margoyudan was built from the long history of Zending Missionary’s role from the Netherlands. The Zending Missionary had delivered the first identity of GKJ Margoyudan as a church which has characteristic of Javanese fellowship but still following many agreements of European social identity, Javanese culture domination as the main identity, and the church building as community solidarity identity. From the external side, the support came from synod of GKJ as the center of evangelism and the government, especially Central Java government. Synod of GKJ and the government support the church community to preserve Javanese culture through Javanese songs, Javanese language, and other related culture activities. They also transformed the church building into a cultural heritage in order to assimilate it with the social identity. The research found a conclusion that stronger acceptance from others to GKJ Margoyudan is partly because of the social role of the church in education and health since long ago. GKJ Margoyudan is accepted in the wider community as an assimilationist identity.
