The purpose of this study was to determine how much influence the quality of the teacher's personality has on spiritual growth. A teacher should ideally have a personality that is suitably aligned to a deeper sense of spirituality so that he or she can role-model desired behaviours and impart the desired Christian characteristics the Lord desires of them. In this article, the researcher discusses some of the critical personality and spiritual values that must be possessed by teachers in order for them to effectively accomplish their role as a teacher. The Apostle Paul described the desired qualities for a teacher in his letter to the Ephesians and also in Timothy. This research was conducted at the Yogyakarta Baptist Church, Indonesia. This study used quantitative methods to collect representative data that was be tested in answering the problems studied. The results in this study demonstrate that there is a moderate relationship between teacher quality and spiritual growth. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire stated that there was a two- tailed relationship of 0.524 at a significance level of 0.01/1% and was accepted with a probability of 0.000. The magnitude of the coefficient of determination of variance (r2x) is 0.274, which means that Personality Quality (X1) contributes to spiritual growth (Y) by 27.4%. If the teacher's Personality Quality score increases by one unit, the average spiritual growth score (Y) will increase by 0.874 from the current condition.

Salvation is a mighty work that Jesus did for all mankind. This is a serious problem for humans, namely the settlement of sins, which can also be explored from the Book of Acts. Yet many people feel that the Book of Acts is merely church history and does not have a strong contribution to the history of salvation. Based on the above facts, it is necessary to present the theologies in the Book of Acts and their contribution to the work of salvation for mankind. And the Book of Acts is also the starting point of a movement for God's church which is the basis of the gospel message to all people. Through the theological concepts that appear in the Book of Acts of the Apostles will be implemented for believers and the church today, so as to become a strong foundation for the movement of God's church in the work of the history of salvation until the end of time.
The church has an important role in a movement for the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission is the center of the church in carrying out the mission of the Kingdom of God in this wolrd. Since the days of the early church, the church has experienced tremendous growth. Many souls believed in Jesus and experienced tremendous spiritual growth. The extraordinary growth of God’s church makes all components of the church must be well integrated into a unified whole. All of this cannot be separated from the Lord Jesus prayer so that His disciples remain united in the project of the great commission. But in reality, the church that should have remained united as the Lord Jesus prayer in John 17:1-26 did not materialize well. The church began to fokus on worldly interests and was no longer a universal church unit. Some of the problem that occurred, the disorganization of the church which is often referred to as ecumenical did not happen well, because of differences in doctrine, there are elements of self-interest, leadership problem and finanacial problems. So that the essence of the church to carry out the mission of the great commsission has shifted. This writing uses a descriptive method of literature by extracting library data ro strengthen understanding as a whole. The goal is that through writing, namely, First, church leaders realize how important a unity is in God’s church. Second, the church becomes a pleasant family as a member of the body of Christ. Third, believers are focused again on thinking about the realization of the Lord Jesus prayer, so that they become one.. Keywords: Ecumenical, Unity, Church, Christian, Jesus Prayer.
