Kota Surakarta merupakan wilayah plural bagi ragam penganut agama dan kepercayaan. Ada potensi pergesekan antar pemeluk agama, dan bagi kaum minoritas seperti kelompok Gereja Masehi Advent Hari Ketujuh (GMAHK) kondisi ini adalah tantangan. GMAHK merupakan bagian organisasi transnasional berbasis agama, Seventh-day Adventist (SDA). Organisasi transnasional bagi suatu negara berpotensi mempengaruhi pola perilaku para pengikutnya dengan nilai global yang dibawanya. Dibutuhkan strategi agar dapat menyesuaikan nilai-nilai lokal dengan global, sehingga dapat menjaga eksistensinya meski sebagai kelompok minoritas. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana kontribusi organisasi transnasional Seventh-day Adventist memperkuat afirmasi toleransi GMAHK Kota Surakarta. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif menggunakan studi kasus intrinsik. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, FGD, observasi dan studi dokumen. Analisis dilakukan dengan pendekatan faith-based development organizations, guna melihat peran dan relasi organisasi transnasional lintas negara berbasis agama. Peneliti menemukan bahwa kontribusi SDA tampak dari esklusifitas identitas global dalam memperkuat afirmasi nilai toleransi GMAHK Surakarta tanpa mengabaikan identitas lokal. SDA membangun sistem terarah dengan mengadaptasikan nilai-nilai global organisasi dalam isu-isu lokal, membangun guideline system melalui jaringan komunikasi dan koordinasi terstruktur, menguatkan self of belonging dengan penguatan loyalitas dan fasilitasi berbagai aspek, penguatan peran perempuan melalui Bakti Wanita Advent, serta agenda interfaith dialogue dan kegiatan sosial lintas agama.
