Abstract
This study aims to analyze the management of Menjabarkan Trilogi
Pembangunan Jemaat (MTPJ) of GMIM as a medium for congregational education. The
main research question addressed in this study is how the management of MTPJ
thought its planning, precentation, distribution, and its challenges and
opportunities can support an effective process of ecclesiastical learning. The
primary focus is directed toward the strategic role of MTPJ as a tool tor
theological literacy, and the formation of congregational spiritualy within the
contex of Christian education management. This research employs a descriptive
qualitative apporoach with a practical analysis method. Data collection
techniques include in-depth interviews, document studies, and participatory
observation conducted across varios levels of GMIM ministry. Data were analyzed
through stages of reduction, categorization, and interpretation, using the
educational management theory framework, particularly the principles of
planning, organizing, actuating and controlling (POAC). The findings reveal
that MTPJ plays a significant role as a non-formal educational instrument
within the church, however, it still faces a number of managerial challenges,
including delayed distribution, inconsistent content quality, and limited
utilization of digital technology. Key findings include: (1) the need for
continuous evaluation and strategic planning in the development of MTPJ. (2)
the urgency to renew contextual and interactive presentation methods. (3) the
importance of digital-based distribution strategies to reach remote
congregations; and (4) the proven effectiveness of MTPJ as a tool for faith for
faith-based learning, when supported by understanding-oriented training and
mentoring for special, church servants and members. The conclusion of this
study affirms that the effectiveness of MTPJ as a church education medium greatly
depends on a systematic, innovative, and adaptive educational management system
that responds to technological advancements and the contextual needs of the
congregation. The main recommendation emphasizes the necessity for GMIM to
develop a sustainable management system for MTPJ administration, in order to
strengthen the chuch’s role as an agent of faith transformation and Christian
education.
