Abstract

Christian education plays an important role in the formation of faith, character, and church community. James R. Estep, in his works, developed an approach that blends theology and pedagogy to integrate faith in the daily life of the congregation. This article aims to explore Estep's practical approach to Christian education, focusing on the integration between education and spiritual formation in the church context. The method used is a literature review of Estep's works and related sources on the theology of Christian education, as well as an analysis of its application in the context of church and society. The results of the study show that Christian education according to Estep does not only aim to transfer knowledge, but also to shape character and leadership in the church. Estep proposes that education should strengthen the church community and support mutual spiritual growth. The contribution of this study is to emphasize the importance of Christian education as a means to transform individual lives and strengthen the role of the church in the formation of a healthy and sustainable faith community.
