Social Ministry, Discipleship, Church Growth, Holistic MissionAbstract
This study aims to analyze the role of social ministry in facilitating discipleship and church growth. Using a qualitative approach, the research was conducted at GMIT Kupang through interviews and observations. The findings reveal that social ministry builds relationships and paves the way for a more effective discipleship process. Theologically, social ministry represents a holistic expression of God's mission. The integration of evangelism, social action, and contextualized discipleship offers a relevant missional strategy for the contemporary church.
