Abstract

Pastoral care during the Covid-19 pandemic is not easy, as the thinking paradigm that has been ingrained in pastors and congregations is an inherent obstacle. Therefore, face-to-face practices in the ministry and pastoral care in church buildings need to immediately change to methods that can be implemented in this pandemic. The results of this research are expected to help optimize and boost the performance of pastoral care for congregations in this pandemic era. The method used is a literature and descriptive approach from various effective published data from churches before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results will provide great benefits for churches, especially in caring for their congregations, as the methods to be performed in the Covid-19 era will be elaborated. Also, the services that require improvement and implementation of pastoral care synergy between generations will be explored. Research Contribution: This research contributes new ideas to the pastoral ministry of churches via internet-based online media technology and discipleship strategies through the family altar.
