Abstract

The Disruption Era calls for the emergence of innovations in various fields, including in Christian Education. Generation Z (Gen-Z), the largest population in Indonesia today, is well-adapted generation to digital technology. Gen-Z Christians (GZC) who live in this disruptive era consider digital technology needs to be accompanied by mentors for their spiritual growth; especially in Bible study. For planning and determining the right learning strategies, their attitude towards Bible study needs to be understood first. The essence of the seven characteristics of Gen-Z are Fidigital, Hypercustoms, Realistic, Weconomist, Fomo, DIY, and Driven. The data collected was analyzed based on a qualitative descriptive method by using a survey through a questionnaire. 200 respondents using a purposive random sampling participated in the questionnaires collected from several cities in Indonesia. It can be concluded taht GZC’s attitude is in line with the characteristics of this Gen-Z, they can be independent and realistic, but not hyper custom; they believe in the Bible and value spiritual mentors so they agree to actively study the Bible, especially using digital technology, and enjoy the benefits of studying the Bible with others.
