This study analyzes the implementation of Christian Religious Education (CRE) in the local church and its impact on the spiritual maturity of youth at GPdI DTC Manembo-Nembo, Bitung City. Using a qualitative descriptive-theological approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed inductively and hermeneutically. The findings indicate that CRE functions as a process of spiritual formation integrating faith instruction, character development, and community life, significantly contributing to youths’ spiritual maturity. This maturity is reflected in biblical understanding, spiritual attitudes, and active involvement in ministry. The study affirms the church as a living pedagogy and offers practical implications for developing a holistic and contextual CRE model for youth faith formation.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini menganalisis implementasi Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) di GPdI DTC Manembo-Nembo, Kota Bitung, serta dampaknya terhadap kedewasaan iman remaja. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-teologis dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi, serta analisis induktif-hermeneutik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PAK berperan sebagai proses formasi spiritual yang mengintegrasikan pengajaran iman, pembinaan karakter, dan kehidupan komunitas gereja, sehingga mendorong pertumbuhan kedewasaan iman remaja. Kedewasaan iman tampak dalam pemahaman Alkitab, sikap spiritual, dan keterlibatan pelayanan. Penelitian ini menegaskan gereja sebagai living pedagogy dan memberikan implikasi praktis bagi pengembangan model PAK yang holistik dan kontekstual dalam pembinaan iman remaja.
