RAPAT TAHUNAN SIDANG SEBAGAI MEKANISME PERENCANAAN (Tinjauan Fungsi Manajemen Perencanaan A’la KGPM)
Congregational growth in a church is the desire of every congregational leader. A church must be strong in its ministry, but also in its organizational capacity. Therefore, a church must have a strong management foundation and sufficient knowledge to ensure its effective management. Planning, as a fundamental management function, influences the implementation of programs designed to support its ministry. The Minahasa Protestant Church (Kerjap) is a local church in North Sulawesi with a distinctive characteristic: its adherence to a congregational church governance system. This system of governance allows each congregation (as the congregation is called) the freedom to contribute directly to planning, both long-term and short-term. The KGPM's unique approach to planning precedes evaluation, ensuring the church's planning program is continually updated annually.

Kerasukan sebagai Manifestasi Luka Batin: Sebuah Telaah Pastoral-Psikologis tentang Kerentanan Spiritual di Jemaat GMIM Elim Papakelan
This qualitative case study analyzes the correlation between inner wounds (trauma) and the phenomenon of recurrent possession in the GMIM Elim Papakelan congregation. Possession treated solely by ritual deliverance often recurs. Findings indicate that pathological possession is an extreme manifestation of psychological stress due to inner wounds, which create a primary spiritual vulnerability gap and trigger extreme dissociation (consistent with DTD/Dissociative Theory: Spiegel et al., 2013). Empirical data (Case of Mother LR) demonstrates the failure of deliverance intervention without addressing the inner wound. Collective fear is identified as a secondary trigger. The study concludes that case management requires an Integrative Pastoral Counseling Model mandating Inner Healing rooted in Reformed theology of forgiveness to restore the subject's wholeness and permanently close the vulnerability gap. This model also corrects the erroneous monosemantic view that solely scapegoats the devil for psychological issues.

Spiritualitas Performatif: Kritik dan Reorientasi Pelayanan Menuju Teologi Oikos
The ecclesiastical paradigm that measuresspirituality by the quantity of participation in ministry forces congregations toengage in “spiritual activism”. Paradoxically, despite efforts toseek external social validation, the internal quality of Oikosis neglected or replaced. With these limitations in mind, this article attempts to critique this phenomenon through a qualitative literature study with a contextual theological lens. The study confirms that this activism is a distortion of the meaning ofministry, whereby families act as ‘victims’ for the sake of institutional performance. As an alternative and solution, a theological reorientation is neededthat centres the family as the leader in faith formation.The function of the church as Ekklesia must move from the centre ofactivity to the centre of equipping that leads to spiritual life in thehome. The goal is to create authentic utilisation born inhealthy families, and the congregation can glorify God.
Kepemimpinan Hamba dan Manajemen Strategis sebagai Paradigma Pelayanan Diakonia Gereja yang Transformatif
Diaconal service is one of the essential callings of the church, yet in practice, it often gets trapped in a charitable model that is reactive, sporadic, and unsustainable. Consequently, such service fails to produce genuine social transformation for its recipients. This article demonstrates that to revitalize diaconal ministry, the church requires a new paradigm that integrates the spirituality of servant leadership with the discipline of strategic management. Servant leadership provides the theological foundation, vision, and ethical motivation centered on the serving example of Christ. Meanwhile, strategic management offers a practical framework, encompassing planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating, to ensure that the vision is executed effectively, efficiently, and accountably. Through a qualitative approach using the literature study method, the author analyzes and synthesizes these two concepts to construct a transformative diaconia model. The result is a holistic paradigm where spirituality and strategy work synergistically, guiding the church to move from merely providing momentary assistance toward planned and long-term impactful community empowerment.
Peran Roh Kudus dalam Mewujudkan Ecclesia Domestica dan Mencegah Oikia Meristhe di Jemaat GMIM Imanuel Toraget
The Christian family is theologically understood as the Ecclesia Domestica (house church), an ideal "covenant community." However, in the pastoral reality at the GMIM Imanuel Toraget congregation, some families fail to achieve this ideal and fall into the condition of Oikia Meristhe (a divided household), a phenomenon proven to have no direct correlation with socio-economic status. This research analyzes this phenomenon from a Pneumatological theology perspective, using a descriptive qualitative method and library research with a biblical and systematic theology approach. The analysis indicates that the theological root of Oikia Meristhe is not external factors, but rather the unsubdued "ego" and "idolatry of the heart," which are manifestations of the "works of the flesh" (sarx). Conversely, the Ecclesia Domestica is actualized through participation in the nature of Christ (the Second Person of the Trinity), facilitated by the means of grace. This study concludes that the Holy Spirit (the Third Person of the Trinity) is the determinant divine Agent in this dynamic. The Holy Spirit actively works to prevent Oikia Meristhe by applying the death of Christ to "put to death" the ego (mortification of the sarx), and simultaneously actualizes the Ecclesia Domestica by applying the resurrection life of Christ, which produces the "Fruit of the Spirit" and empowers spiritual disciplines (such as family worship). Family wholeness in Toraget, therefore, is not a sociological or economic achievement, but a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit within a Trinitarian framework.

INTEGRASI TEOLOGI SALIB DAN PSIKOLOGI DALAM MENANGANI DEPRESI ROHANI
This article discusses the integration of the theology of the cross and psychology in addressing spiritual depression among Christians. Spiritual depression is understood as a form of spiritual suffering that is often neglected or misunderstood in church ministries, which tend to emphasize normative solutions without considering psychological aspects. Through a qualitative theologicalpastoral study, This article highlights the importance of interpreting suffering not as a failure of faith, but as a space for encountering God who suffers alongside humanity, as taught in the theology of the cross. On the other hand, the pastoral psychology approach provides a scientific framework for understanding and holistically healing inner wounds. The integration of these two disciplines encourages the church to offer empathetic, contextual counseling services that touch all dimensions of the human person: body, soul, and spirit. Thus, the church is expected to become a healing community that embodies the love and solidarity of Christ for those experiencing spiritual depression, while also eliminating the stigma against mental health disorders within the life of faith.
“KEYAKINAN KEPASTIAN KESELAMATAN TERHADAP PELAYANAN PENGINJILAN MENURUT SOTERIOLOGI KRISTEN”

This article explores how these beliefs influence the evangelistic ministry and how the evangelist communicates the message of salvation with unwavering conviction. This article also acknowledges the differences in understanding and beliefs about the assurance of salvation and the importance of considering context and individual needs in evangelistic ministry.

Konseling Pastoral Bagi Jemaat Yang Mempunyai Luka Inner Child
Inner Child is part of our past trauma and usually affects a person's life in the future including his personality. Therefore, when an Inner Child is injured, it will influence us as an adult in making decisions and dealing with other people. Inner Child is a concept that describes the childish nature and attitude that everyone has. Even so, the conditions that exist in each individual are not the same because they are formed from experiences when they were children. The Inner Child can be described as the part of us that doesn't grow up and remains a child. That is, this part continues to stay and hide inside a person. This section holds tightly to every memory and emotion we have experienced as a child, both good and bad. Unfortunately, this then also absorbs any negative energy, be it behavior or speech from the person we think should provide a sense of security. The Inner Child is one of the components that make up our character. Therefore, we need to know, accept, and connect with the inner child within ourself.
