Peran Gembala Gereja Bethel Indonesia Dalam Mencegah Perceraian Keluarga Kristen Di Tanjung Priok

God Himself is the initiator and creator of the Christian family. Therefore, there is a vision and mission of God in every Christian family. The family is a small church, so families form a local church community. Husband and wife are important factors forming a family. The role of the pastor is very important in preventing Christian family divorce, among others: shepherding, guiding, and being an example in a healthy Christian family life. The method to answer this problem uses a qualitative method with interviews, collecting several journals, related literature, and Bible verses that are relevant to the formulation of the problem. Thus, the right answer was obtained as a reference for pastors and local churches of the Indonesian Bethel Church in preventing Christian family divorce. More broadly, it can help pastors who will prepare and assist Christian families in the future in respecting the institution of marriage and willing to pay the price in maintaining the integrity of their families.Key words: pastoral role, local church, Christian family, divorce, pay the price
