On the other hand, this development is considered as the causalty of moral decadence, polarization, inequality and various forms of social problems that are massively increasing in the midst of society. In this context, how should the church play a role in implementing transformational mandat within the society? The Church is God's gift to the world to involve in serving the world’s problems. The Church presents as God’s compassion manifestation towards sinners and marginalized group of people who are exploited and dominated. This research approach used a descriptive qualitative method that involves historical and explorative studies of biblical texts and literature research. Historical studies were conducted to find the transformative role of the church throughout the history of human civilization history. An explorative-ecclesiological approach is used to synchronize the role of the church in the light of transformative ecclesiology.
