Abstract
The role of the church is crucial in nurturing Christian education to enhance spiritual leadership among youth. This study examines the characteristics of Christian leadership in youth and the church's role in providing religious education to foster spiritual leadership. Using a qualitative approach, this research explores how the church can effectively support the development of spiritual leadership qualities such as integrity, humility, and empathy in youth. The findings reveal that the church plays a significant role in shaping the spiritual and moral guidance of young individuals, equipping them with the skills and values necessary for spiritual leadership. The study also emphasizes the importance of mentorship, community involvement, and experiential learning as key strategies for nurturing young Christian leaders. By investing in the spiritual development of youth, the church can contribute to the growth of future leaders with a strong faith foundation and a commitment to serve their communities.
