Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the implications of online infidelity in the context of church congregations that include threats to the institution of marriage, pastoral challenges and opportunities, and strategic recommendations for mitigation. This study adopts a library study method. This method allows the author to use several literatures in the form of books, scientific journals, online media and contemporary case analysis that are related to the case raised in this paper. The case of online infidelity raised in this study is part of the author’s concern over the phenomenon that has degraded and damaged the institution of marriage in the church. In addition, online infidelity does not only occur in married people, but is a serious threat that targets the younger generation, especially Gen-Z.
