The purpose of this study was to determine the level of sexual behavior and teaching of church in premartial sex. Looking the relationship between sexual behavior and teachings of church in premarial sex was another objective. A total of 300 participants aged 15 to 24 from three churches (Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Iglesia ni Cristo). To measure the level of sexual behavior, standardized questionnaire created by the researcher. A cronbach's alpha of 0.827 was the result of pre-testing. The results show that there is small probability of sexual behavior activity among participants. On the other hand, it was identified that church teach about the issue of premartial. There is negative weak relationship between sexual behavior and teachings of church in premartial sex. It implies that there is small chance of initiating what the church teaches to the members due to the fact that personality varies accordingly. Some factors also affect why some of the members follow or not the teachings of church.
