Abstract
This study aims to critically analyze the significance of Sunday worship in the identity construction and spiritual growth of adolescents within the GMIM Perak Sorong Congregation context. Employing a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies involving Youth Members, the Youth Commission, and the Pastor. The critical findings reveal that Sunday worship holds dual significance: serving as a stable communal space and moral anchor in Christian identity construction, and acting as a catalyst for spiritual growth. However, its effectiveness is selective. Adolescent participation patterns show high emotional intensity in contemporary liturgy, but this is accompanied by a substantial decline in theological cognitive absorption, indicating a segregation between affective and doctrinal experience. The author concludes that the highest spiritual growth, measured by commitment and social concern, tangibly occurs only among adolescents actively involved in liturgical service. Therefore, worship functions as an inspiration that necessitates structured follow-up action to optimally achieve the vision of forming youth rooted in the principles of the Triune God through active engagement, rather than mere passive attendance.
