Peran Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam Mengembangkan Spritualitas Remaja Kristen

Abstract

Christian Religious Education (PAK) has a very important role in forming and developing the spirituality of Christian youth, especially in Indonesia, where religion plays a large role in social life. Christian youth spirituality is a spiritual dimension that involves understanding, appreciating and applying Christian values ​​in everyday life. In this context, PAK acts as a forum for teaching the teachings of Christ, which encourages teenagers to know God better and internalize Christian moral and ethical values. This research aims to explore the role of PAK in improving the spirituality of Christian teenagers by paying attention to the factors that influence the development of their spirituality, as well as the challenges faced in this religious education. Based on theoretical studies and field data, it was found that PAK which is applied in an integrative, interactive manner and based on Christian values ​​can be a key factor in developing adolescent spirituality, which includes increasing faith, strengthening morality and forming strong character.
