This research explores the role of Christian education in the church in helping young people deal with the Quarter Life Crisis-a phenomenon characterised by confusion, anxiety, and uncertainty regarding identity and life purpose in their 20s to early 30s. Using a qualitative approach, this article discusses how teaching spiritual values, church community, and social services can support young people's emotional and moral well-being. Through analyses of biblical texts and empirical studies, this research shows that Christian education in the church provides a foundation for young people to find meaning in life and overcome the challenges of the Quarter Life Crisis.
