Abstract

Nearly all people of the church is exposed to pandemic covid-1, instead they are not exposed to sars virus covid-19, they are exposed to predisposition, frailty, and any other social impacts. Indicators of ABC, Attendance (crowded by visitors), Building and Cash flow currently deemed as measurement of successful church service abruptly changed amid covid-19. In fact, church visitors drastically decreased, church building would be vacant and cash flow particularly income definitely declines. If in history the world was suffered from pandemic for several times, it suggested that a pandemic may happens in such a prolonged time, then church is unlikely to dwell on this condition, church is unlikely to be underdeveloped with the same pattern. This study offered the possibility to church to switch to solidarity services, the mission transfers to the deepest part of the church. There is a challenge for the church to transform into more humanity, pursue solidarity, try to be more gracious, be concerned about other. Identification of solidarity and brotherhood becomes indicators of missional Church. The mission shifted into any different form of loving service, particularly for those who are the most vulnerable.
