Abstract

Pandemi COVID-19 mengakselerasi pergeseran praktik gereja dari ruang fisik ke ruang digital dan melahirkan konteks baru yang dikenal sebagai Society 5.0. Perubahan ini menuntut rekonstruksi teologi agar spiritualitas dan praksis gereja tetap relevan. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis ulang spiritualitas gereja pascapandemi dengan menyoroti implikasinya terhadap soteriologi, kristologi, dan eklesiologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan dengan menganalisis literatur teologis dan empiris yang terbit antara tahun 2018-2025. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ibadah daring bukan sekadar pengganti sementara, melainkan ruang praksis baru yang membentuk spiritualitas digital dan komunitas iman hibrid. Rekonstruksi teologi gereja dalam konteks Society 5.0 menuntut pemahaman baru tentang kehadiran Kristus, keselamatan sebagai pemulihan kolektif, dan gereja sebagai jejaring relasional yang hidup dalam ruang digital dan fisik. Gereja dipanggil untuk mengembangkan spiritualitas yang adaptif, misioner, dan berakar pada Injil di tengah perubahan sosial-teknologis yang cepat.
