This study proposes and examines a configurational classification model of congregational worship participation grounded in Christological, Ecclesiological, and Pneumatological dimensions. While systematic theology has traditionally articulated these loci normatively, limited empirical research has explored how their integration corresponds to observable patterns of ecclesial participation. Using a quantitative explanatory design and logistic regression analysis, this study investigates the predictive associations of Spiritual Longing, Ecclesial Perception, and Charismatic Leadership with worship attendance consistency. Employing a theory-driven 2³ classificatory framework, respondents are categorized into eight configurational types representing distinct patterns of theological integration. The findings indicate that Spiritual Longing exhibits the strongest association with consistent participation, followed by Ecclesial Perception and Charismatic Leadership. More stable participation patterns correspond to stronger integration across these dimensions, whereas weaker integration is associated with instability. Rather than reducing theological constructs to sociological variables, this study offers an empirical operationalization that enables constructive dialogue between systematic theology and congregational research. The proposed framework contributes to empirical theology and practical ecclesiology by providing a transferable analytical model for understanding participation in diverse church contexts.
