Religious Coping of Servants at GBI Jemaat Ayalon Kupang
Abstract
Religious coping is the way a person relies on faith, worship, and support
from their religious community to deal with life's pressures or challenges. The
purpose of this study was to determine the religious coping of ministers at GBI
Ayalon Kupang related to understanding, application, and assessment of religious
coping. The research method used is qualitative. The data collection technique is a
structured interview. Sampling in this study used a purposive sampling technique
with 5 participants. This study found that servants at GBI Ayalon Kupang face
spiritual and interpersonal challenges, such as a crisis of faith, the declining spirit of
service, and conflict within the ministry team. They overcome these challenges by
strengthening their relationship with God through prayer and seeking support from
others and church leaders.
