Data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation. Informants are divided into three parts, namely key informants, main informants and additional informants. The number of informants in this study amounted to 6 people, of which 1 coach, 1 coordinator, 1 church administrator and 3 young Catholics. The result is that the coach's efforts to increase active participation in OMK church life have been carried out and are running well. The efforts of OMK coaches and church life have been good, but in practice it should be further improved and developed again in various activities. Especially in mutual cooperation activities, environmental prayer, liturgical officers, and deepening of faith. The presence of OMK must be further enhanced to support the development of church life. The coach's efforts in providing direction, accompanying, and becoming a friend for OMK are further enhanced so that they have a good influence on the development of OMK.
