Pendidikan Agama Kristen: Membina Perkembangan Spiritual Remaja Awal 10-13 Tahun

Abstract

Christian Religious Education is a process of guidance and teaching that aims to form understanding, belief, and practice of life according to Christian teachings. Through this education, individuals are expected to understand basic Christian values ​​such as love, forgiveness, and faith in God. Christian religious education not only provides doctrinal knowledge, but also forms the moral and spiritual character of students, with a focus on personal knowledge of God. Spiritual guidance for early adolescence (10-13 years) involves three main environments: family, church, and school. The family acts as the first foundation in instilling values ​​of faith, the church provides spiritual guidance, and the school provides space for the development of Christian teaching theory and practice. This collaborative guidance supports adolescents to form a strong Christian character amidst the challenges of the world. Early adolescence, which is full of physical, emotional, and social changes, is an important moment to strengthen faith and build a more meaningful foundation for life.
