Abstract

This study aims to analyze the professionalism of Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers from the perspective of Christian ethics. The professionalism of CRE teachers plays a vital role in shaping students' character and morals while teaching Christian values. The professionalism of CRE teachers serves as a cornerstone in fostering students' character based on holistic and transformative Christian values. This study highlights that Christian ethics, grounded in love, responsibility, justice, and integrity, form an essential foundation for developing teachers' professional competencies. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach by analyzing the role of Christian ethics in the educational, social, personal, and professional performance of CRE teachers. The findings indicate that the application of Christian ethics can enhance the quality of education, foster positive relationships between teachers and students, and create a reflective and stimulating learning environment. This study recommends the deeper integration of Christian ethical values into the professional development of religious education teachers to support the achievement of Christ-centered educational goals.
