Abstract

This study examines how Christian Religious Education (CRE) is experienced and understood as contributing to family resilience in the digital era at GMIT Exodus Oefafi, Kupang Timur Classis. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were obtained from ten informants, one pastor and nine congregants, through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Analysis involved data reduction, display, conclusion drawing/verification, and thematic organization. Participants described family prayer, worship, and Bible reading as sources of spiritual meaning; Christian values as guides for communication and conflict management; faith-informed digital parenting as content filtering, device limits, parent-child dialogue, and spiritually oriented media use; and church support as an external social-spiritual resource. This study contributes an empirical-contextual account of how CRE is experienced as a multidimensional protective resource connecting spiritual practices, relational processes, digital adaptation, and church support, without claiming causal effects.
