Abstract: Digital transformation has fundamentally changed the paradigm of church service, particularly in the context of the Pentecostal tradition that emphasises the role of the Holy Spirit as the centre of church leadership and stewardship. This article aims to develop a conceptual model of Pentecostalism Stewardship Governance (PSG) that integrates three main dimensions: theological, digital, and managerial, as a framework for church service governance in the digital era. The methodological approach used in this article is through a literature review. This model is formulated through a conceptual approach that reviews ten recent studies relevant to Pentecostal theology, church management, and digital service literacy. The study results indicate that PSG-based church governance requires leadership oriented toward spirit-led accountability, where the values of spirituality, transparency, and technological innovation converge to support the ministry's sustainability. Digital Ministry Training becomes a key element in developing digital competencies for church ministers, strengthening theological capacity, and fostering a collaborative and inclusive service culture. Thus, PSG offers a new paradigm for the Pentecostal church in building holistic, accountable, and service-based digital governance.
Abstrak: Transformasi digital telah mengubah paradigma pelayanan gereja secara fundamental, khususnya dalam konteks tradisi Pentakosta yang menekankan peran Roh Kudus sebagai pusat kepemimpinan dan penatalayanan gereja. Artikel ini bertujuan mengembangkan model konseptual Pentecostalism Stewardship Governance (PSG) yang mengintegrasikan tiga dimensi utama teologis, digital, dan manajerial sebagai kerangka tata kelola pelayanan gereja di era digital. Pendekatan metodologis yang digunakan dalam menguraikan artikel ini melalui studi literatur. Model ini dirumuskan melalui pendekatan konseptual dengan meninjau sepuluh penelitian terkini yang relevan dalam bidang teologi Pentakosta, manajemen gereja, dan literasi digital pelayanan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa tata kelola gereja berbasis PSG menuntut kepemimpinan yang berorientasi pada spirit-led accountability, di mana nilai-nilai spiritualitas, transparansi, dan inovasi teknologi berpadu untuk mendukung keberlanjutan pelayanan. Digital Ministry Training menjadi elemen kunci dalam mengembangkan kompetensi digital bagi pelayan gereja, memperkuat kapasitas teologis, dan membentuk budaya pelayanan yang kolaboratif serta inklusif. Dengan demikian, PSG menawarkan paradigma baru bagi gereja Pentakosta dalam membangun tata kelola digital yang holistik, akuntabel, dan berlandaskan spiritualitas pelayanan
