The Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) represents the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education that emphasizes student engagement with society. This activity was conducted for 14 days in Jaranguda Village, Merdeka District, Karo Regency, aiming to strengthen religious education and encourage community empowerment. The method applied was a participatory action research approach covering observation, planning, implementation, and evaluation stages carried out collaboratively with the community. The results show that religious education strengthening programs, including Qur'anic learning center assistance, youth mosque coaching, and routine religious gatherings, significantly increased the participation of children and adolescents, while community empowerment programs such as agricultural product processing training, health counseling, and communal environmental work successfully improved residents' capacity and self-reliance. The findings conclude that synergy between spiritual strengthening and socio-economic empowerment effectively improves the quality of life of rural communities.
