Abstract

Abstract: Era of society 5.0, which is not easy to face and own the challenge for education, especially Christian religious education. In addition to having quite a tough challenge for Christian religious education, era Society 5.0 also presents good opportunities that can help Christian religious education to develop towards a better and more advanced direction. Based on the development of educational technology, Christian religious education is needed to adapt biblical principles to the current state of Christian society. A significant challenge is how to apply Christian theology in Christian religious education using technology without violating the doctrines that are fundamental to the Christian faith.


TransformNation is a program that operates in the field of education, specifically supporting Christian schools in rural areas in their efforts to empower marginalized communities.   To address this problem, one of the methods researchers employ in this study is the implementation of an application, Kambiumgo, in Christian religious education, particularly in the field of discipleship. Based on these conditions, the following problems are formulated: how does the implementation of the Kambiumgo application form the character of Christ through discipleship in the TransformNation program in the era of society 5.0?


The objectives to be achieved in the study are to know the implementation Kambiumgo application, which forms the character-building Christ in the program TransformNation through discipleship in the era of society 5.0. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method. The results of this study found that the Kambiumgo application is very useful for helping students from the TransformNation program to study God's Word and discuss it anywhere and anytime. Due to its flexible, communicative, and easily accessible nature, this helps the formation of Christ's character in the student discipleship TransformNation program conducted through small groups. Based on this research, it is suggested that in addition to using the kambiumgo application, small group is also expected to hold meetings routinely and provide feedback among small group members to find out the spiritual growth of each member so that they have a real relationship with Christ, not just carrying out tasks or routines.
