Tugas pengajaran gereja yang sekarang disebut Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) adalah tugas Gereja disamping tugas-tugas lain. Oleh karena itu PAK seharusnya dilaksanakan dan ditanggung oleh Gereja sendiri, walaupun pelaksanaannya dilakukan dalam berbagai wadah misalnya dalam kategorial jemaat ataupun dalam lembaga pendidikan. Tulisan ini berawal dari kegelisahan penulis terhadap relasi guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) yang ada di sekolah dengan gereja tempat ia menjadi anggotanya. Dari hasil penelitian penulis di beberapa tempat di kota Kupang, sebagian besar guru PAK di sekolah yang tidak lagi memiliki hubungan dengan gereja asalnya. Hal ini didorong oleh rasa aman bahwa mereka dibiayai oleh negara bukan oleh gereja, pada hal tugas pengajaran yang dilakukan oleh seseorang guru PAK dalam wadah apapun juga adalah tugas gereja yang diamanatkan oleh Yesus. Dengan demikian mestinya setiap Guru PAK yang mengajar di sekolah memahami bahwa dia adalah pelayan gereja.
