https://doi.org/10.51465/2gj13247This study explores the application of the dialogic Catechetics method in increasing congregational participation in cell group worship. This method has proven effective in creating more active and dynamic interactions between group members, which leads to a collaborative learning atmosphere. Through open dialogue, congregations feel more valued and personally involved, and can deepen their faith with more applicable understanding. Although there are challenges in its implementation, the success of this method is highly dependent on the skills of cell group leaders in managing discussions and creating a safe atmosphere for members to participate. This study also provides practical suggestions, such as developing facilitation skills and using visual materials to strengthen understanding. Recommendations for further research include comparative studies on the effectiveness of the dialogic Catechetics method and experimental research in various local churches. The results of this study are expected to support increased congregational participation and spiritual growth in local churches.
