Church ministry in Indonesia has undergone significant transformation in line with social, economic and technological dynamics that demand theological innovation in responding to the needs of the times. The church no longer focuses solely on spiritual ministry, but also plays a role in the socio-economic empowerment of congregations through entrepreneurial practices based on Christian values. The integration of theology and entrepreneurship is a tangible manifestation of the church's calling to bring God's love contextually to modern society. This phenomenon is evident in the practice of missional entrepreneurship in various churches, such as the Yayasan Pintu Sinar Abadi (YPSA) in Bandung and churches in East Nusa Tenggara that have developed models of entrepreneurship based on faith and social solidarity. The purpose of this study is to examine the Christian entrepreneurship model as a theological innovation that strengthens church ministry and social transformation. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a literature review method of theological literature and contemporary church practices. The results show that Christian entrepreneurship serves as an innovative ministry model that enhances economic independence, strengthens congregational spirituality, and expands the social impact of the church. Thus, this model functions not only as an economic strategy but also as a contextual and transformative manifestation of faith for the church today.
