The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed the landscape of human interaction, including the way Christian service is practiced and understood. This research explores how Christian service ethics can respond to the ethical challenges and opportunities presented by the digital world. Drawing on theological foundations and current ethical discourses, the study investigates the implications of digital platforms on authenticity, accountability, and the spiritual integrity of Christian service. Through a qualitative approach involving literature review, theological reflection, and input from Christian leaders actively engaged in digital ministry, the research identifies key ethical threats such as misinformation, self-centered digital behavior, and the weakening of real community bonds. At the same time, it uncovers opportunities for broader outreach, creative ministry, and inclusion of marginalized groups through digital means. The study proposes an ethical framework rooted in Christian values such as love, humility, justice, and stewardship for guiding digital engagement. It further offers practical recommendations for churches and ministries to navigate the digital space responsibly, emphasizing the need for digital literacy, ethical leadership, and integrated discipleship. The research concludes that Christian service ethics must adapt to the digital era without compromising its core theological identity, thus enabling the Church to serve faithfully and prophetically in a technologically driven world.
