Gita Futri Karuwehni, Matheus Mangentang
Indonesia's ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity is a national asset that should be embraced through mutual respect and appreciation. However, the persistence of intolerance indicates the need to instill the values of tolerance from an early age. As a faith-based institution, the church plays a strategic role in shaping children's character by integrating Christian values into their social lives. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to provide education on effective communication based on Christian values for children at GKSI Sejahtera NonBlok as an effort to foster a tolerant generation. The program was implemented through presentations, interactive discussions, educational games, and communication simulations emphasizing the values of love, patience, humility, and respect for others. The activity is expected to enhance participants' understanding of the importance of effective communication, improve their ability to communicate politely and respectfully, and cultivate attitudes of tolerance in their daily interactions. Through this program, the church is expected to contribute to developing a generation that is faithful, possesses strong moral character, communicates effectively, and is able to live harmoniously in a diverse society.
