description Realizing the importance of providing the best service for the glory of God by being a good servant of God, the researcher is very interested in conducting this brief study to determine the level of confirmation of being a ‘good servant of Christ’ based on 1 Timothy 4:1-16 among Indonesian Muria Christian Church adherents throughout Jepara Regency, which is the most dominant dimension. Muria Christian Church in Indonesia (Muria Mennonite Christian Church in Indonesia or GKMI which stands for Gereja Kristen Muria Indonesia in Indonesian) is one of three Indonesian church synods which are associates of Mennonite World Conference (MWC). The church has more than 16,000 members living in Java, Bali, Sumatra and Kalimantan. The GKMI grew in Chinese Indonesian communities in the towns around Mount Muria, which is an ancient volcano along the north coast of Central Java. Since 1960 it has spread into other ethnic groups on the four main islands of western Indonesia. This study is contributing to the dominant background shape relating to the confirmation of the Indonesian Muria Christian Church in Jepara Regency as being good servants of Christ based on 1 Timothy 4:1-16.
