Serum total cholesterol levels above 200mg/ () have repeatedly been correlated with cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases. Many risk factors can lead to , one of which is the dietary pattern. A dietary pattern is one simple way to start, which can be modified to avoid . This study describes the correlation between dietary pattern with serum total cholesterol levels within HKBP church congregation in September 2018 using a cross-sectional study, and the sample was obtained from accidental sampling. Therefore, there is no requirement for both inclusion and exclusion criteria. In total, 38 respondents contributed to this research. Data retrieval was done using questionnaires for the dietary pattern and rapid test for the serum total cholesterol levels. The data was used to analyze by the Pearson Chi-Square test. Based on the study result, there was a significant relationship between carbohydrate consumption frequency with the respondents' serum total cholesterol levels (p = 0,031). In contrast, the significant relationship between protein consumption frequency (p = 0,631), fat consumption frequency (p = 0150), fiber consumption frequency (p = 0,631) and fast-food consumption frequency (p = 0,150) with serum total cholesterol levels of the respondents were not found.
