Abstract Mosques in Aceh generally still function as centers of worship and religious activities, while their role in the economic empowerment of worshippers is not optimal. In fact, mosques have great potential as a center for the economic development of the people through institutional strengthening and community-based business units. This community service activity aims to (1) assisting the management of the Baitul Jannah Tungkop Mosque, Aceh Besar Regency in the process of forming a mosque cooperative; (2) mapping the economic potential of worshippers and mosque assets that can be developed as business units; and (3) increasing the understanding and capacity of administrators and worshippers in the management of mosque-based economic institutions. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR) through the stages of problem identification, program planning, implementation of mentoring, and evaluation with stakeholders. The activities carried out include cooperative counseling, participatory discussions, mapping the economic potential of mosques, and formulation of cooperative business unit plans. The results of the activity showed an increase in the understanding of the management and worshippers about mosque cooperatives, agreements on the formation of consumer cooperatives, and the planning of initial business units in the form of worship-based grocery stores and barbershops. This assistance is expected to be the first step in strengthening the role of mosques as a center for sustainable community economic empowerment.
