Social, economic, and cultural changes in the digital era demand that Christian Religious Education (CRE) become more contextual for Generation Z. Thus far, CRE has tended to emphasize normative-theological dimensions and has not sufficiently addressed the practical needs of young people, particularly in facing the challenges of the creative economy. In fact, Generation Z is highly creative, adaptive to technology, yet vulnerable to materialism and instant lifestyles if not equipped with a strong foundation of faith. This situation underlies the importance of research on the integration of faith literacy and economic literacy in CRE. This study aims to formulate a new paradigm of CRE that positions faith literacy and economic literacy as the foundation for developing creative entrepreneurship among Generation Z. The method used is a library research approach by analyzing theological and educational literature as well as contemporary studies on Generation Z, faith literacy, and economic literacy. The findings reveal that faith literacy provides ethical grounding and spirituality for entrepreneurship, while economic literacy offers contextual competencies relevant to the digital era. The integration of both in CRE leads to a model of Christian education that not only shapes faithful individuals but also creative entrepreneurs with integrity, committed to social justice, and the common good. The contribution of this study lies in proposing an interdisciplinary paradigm that bridges faith and economy, while also offering practical implications for churches and Christian educational institutions in designing contextual curricula. Thus, this research enriches the field of practical theology in Indonesia and provides concrete responses to the needs of Generation Z in the era of the creative economy.
