Abstract

This study aims to explore discipleship in the younger generation finding their true identity in Christ 
in today's digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study involved 
young people and young adults who are active in church communities. In this case, the younger 
generation in searching for identity in the digital era, finding true identity in Christ through 
discipleship requires the development of a discipleship approach that is responsive to complex 
social and digital dynamics. By integrating technology and interactive learning methods, 
discipleship can increase the relevance and effectiveness of programs offered to the younger 
generation. Through proper guidance, discipleship not only helps individuals recognize their 
identity in faith but also equips them with the skills and beliefs to contribute positively to society. 
The results of the study indicate that discipleship functions as a process of spiritual learning and 
in-depth character building, which strengthens the values of love, sacrifice, and commitment to 
the teachings of Christ. Through interactions in discipleship groups, young people are empowered 
to share hopes and challenges, strengthen a sense of solidarity, and discuss issues that are 
relevant to their lives. Thus, discipleship becomes a vital tool in forming a strong identity and 
guiding young people towards a meaningful life in line with their calling of faith.
