This Community Service activity was carried out at GSJA Parakletos Tamiang Layang, Central Kalimantan, with the aim of strengthening the role of Christian parents in character formation of adolescents aged 12–15 years old according to Ephesians 6:1–4. The methods used included seminars, group discussions, and practical simulations that emphasized the importance of living examples, spiritual communication, and family prayer. The results of the activity showed an increase in parents' understanding of spiritual responsibilities, changes in parenting patterns that were more dialogical and loving, and positive responses from adolescents in spiritual involvement. Church support was also proven to strengthen family development efforts. This activity emphasized that Christian parents are the main agents in shaping adolescent character, and synergy between the family, church, and society is essential to produce a generation of faith and strong character.
