Dampak PAK terhadap Pertumbuhan Iman Remaja di GKRI Kaki Dian Emas Bekasi Barat

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of Christian Religious Education (PAK) on the growth of adolescent faith at GKRI Kaki Dian Emas, West Bekasi. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method, data were obtained from observations, interviews, questionnaires, and document studies. The results indicate that PAK plays a significant role in improving adolescents' understanding of faith, spiritual discipline, and character change, which is reflected in caring attitudes, empathy, and service involvement. Supporting factors include the role of the family, the guidance of a spiritual mentor, and the church community, while the main obstacles come from the influence of secular culture and the low commitment of some adolescents. These findings confirm that PAK is a strategic tool for shaping a young generation that is rooted in Christ, has a Christian character, and is able to become agents of transformation in society.
