Abstract

This research describes to analyzes the use of digital technology as a means of holistic church services through the concept of “Telepsychospiritual.” This innovation blends collaboration between Christian psychologists and church ministers to face challenges in the digital era, particularly in providing spiritual and mental guidance to congregants. The benefit of this research is to provide insight into how churches can stay connected and inclusive in serving congregations in modern times that are increasingly dependent on technology. The method used in this research is qualitative, with observation and literature study of national and international scientific literature, books, and related digital media. The research findings show that the utilization of technology through “Telepsychospiritual” can expand the reach of church services, especially for those who experience limited access or mobility. Collaboration between psychologists and church ministers allows for a holistic approach to resolving the spiritual, mental, and social problems of the congregation. In conclusion, the concept of “Telepsychospiritual” offers an innovative ministry strategy for churches to stay connected in the digital era while supporting the mental and spiritual health of the congregation more effectively and inclusively.
