Peranan Orang Tua Kristen terhadap Pembentukan Karakter Remaja 12-15 Tahun Sesuai Efesus 6:1-4 di GSJA Parakletos di Tamiang Laying Kaimat Tengah

Abstract

Community Service (PKM) activities at GSJA Parakletos, Tamiang Layang, Central Kalimantan, were carried out to equip Christian parents in shaping the character of adolescents aged 12–15 years based on Ephesians 6:1–4. This program was motivated by the low awareness of parents regarding their spiritual responsibilities, so that the development of children's faith was mostly left to the church or school. Through seminars, group discussions, and the preparation of a Family Action Plan, parents were equipped with theological understanding and practical skills to build family prayer, spiritual communication, and life examples. The results of the activities showed an increase in awareness, motivation, and commitment of parents in carrying out their roles, and emphasized the importance of synergy between families, churches, and theological educational institutions.
