This study was conducted to analyze the reflection on the ethical values of management of the environment that is based on the behavior of the Christian religion in particular churches GMIM in coastal areas of Lake Tondano. This study uses a qualitative method. A qualitative approach rests on the paradigm interpretive and constructive, which is very different from the positivist approach as a pillar of quantitative research (Sugiyono, 2010; Creswell, 2010). Results of this study resulted in the following findings: (a). Preposition 1: The Church as a theological institute would be a role for institutional strengthening Lake Tondano. (B). Prepositions 2: People or church less concerned with the norms of life or change the norms that should be the norms of creation and his own interests. Nature simply exploited and polluted without feeling guilty. The result is a drastic reduction in the quality of natural resources such as Lake Tondano. It would not be wrong if GMMIT church is seen as the key to preserving the environment. (C). Preposition 3: Conservation of Tondano Lake should not be understood as a total ban on the use of a wide range of its potential. The separation of the community from the utilization of the potential of this lake would likely have a negative impact on the sustainability of the ecosystem as a waiver of justice and the rights of peoples who have occupied space over the territory around Lake Tondano. Therefore, the church must be more sensitive to the aspect of justice, especially for those who are marginalized either by gender, socio-economic level, race, religion. (D). Preposition 4: Board of church and congregation GMMIT encourage local governments to take measurements and logging back on broad and land tenure in the region of Lake Tondano is a positive step and would provide legal certainty. In the end, the legal certainty of land around Lake Tondano will provide clarity in terms of utilization of space surrounding areas to the front and (e). Preposition 5: development paradigm with people centerred development should be an option for achieving equitable and fair welfare. Therefore, increasing the ability of communities in the management of development in general or regional utilization of Lake Tondano especially need to be a serious concern for the government and the institutions Involved in the development of society. The point is the need for the strengthening of the position of the people in development (empowerment) area of Lake Tondano region.
