Pengaruh Teladan Orang Tua terhadap Pertumbuhan Rohani Anak dalam Keluarga
Keywords:
Children, Christian Family, Parents, Role Model, Spiritual GrowthAbstract
This Community Service activity was carried out to strengthen the role of Christian parents as role models in the spiritual formation of children. The program was carried out through seminars, group discussions, and practical simulations involving families from partner churches. The results of the activity showed an increase in parents' understanding of spiritual responsibilities, changes in attitudes and behaviors that were more consistent with God's word, and positive responses from children in spiritual involvement. Real examples were proven to be more effective than verbal instructions in growing children's faith. Church support is an important factor in maintaining the sustainability of the activity's results. Thus, parental role models are the main foundation in forming a generation of young Christians who are faithful, have character, and are ready to face the challenges of the times.
