Gereja Misional: Buah Refleksi Eklesiologis Terkait Misi YAKKUM

Abstract

Yayasan Kristen untuk Kesehatan Umum (YAKKUM) is an integral part of the service of the Synod of Gereja-gereja Kristen Jawa (GKJ) and Gereja Kristen Indonesia (GKI) Sinode Wilayah Jawa Tengah to the community. In the context of the growing health industry today, YAKKUM is required to change and improve. This implies a picture related to its mission and institutional existence which is lived as part of the ecclesiastical mission. This picture can be observed in the long journey of YAKKUM's institutional history, which is suspected since its establishment as a result of the appreciation of the mission call of its two founding churches, the GKJ Synod and GKI SW Jawa Tengah. This paper aims to show important nodes that can be observed to emphasize that the anchor of YAKKUM's ministry is none other than ecclesiastical mission. This will be done by describing the journey of YAKKUM's institutional development, through a basic definition of the ecclesiological description of the Missional Church as a fruit of theological reflection as well as an essential foothold for YAKKUM's institutional vocation as an ecclesial mission institution to this day.
