Keywords:
Church-Based Entrepreneurship, Congregation Empowerment, Spiritual Capital, Social ChurchpreneurshipAbstract
East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) still faces a high poverty rate, with 19.96% of its population living below the poverty line in March 2023. To address this issue, the church plays an important role in the social-economic empowerment of its congregation through the concept of social churchpreneurship. The activity aimed to inspire the congregation of GMIT Nekaf Mese Naioni Church to develop their entrepreneurial potential based on religious values. The seminar, held on November 14–15, 2024, at GMIT Nekaf Mese Naioni, involved 30 participants consisting of congregation members, church leaders, and local community figures, with three competent speakers. The method used was participatory action research (PAR) and practice-based training. The evaluation results showed that the majority of participants were satisfied with the material presented, especially regarding church-based business management, such as Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) production. This activity successfully increased the congregation's understanding of the importance of spiritual capital in entrepreneurship and provided practical insights into managing church community-based businesses. In conclusion, this activity demonstrates the great potential of the church in empowering its congregation through social entrepreneurship based on religious values that can improve economic, social, and spiritual well-being. However, there is a need for improved delivery of more applicable material and follow-up assistance for future implementation.
