Community-based religious education plays a strategic role in shaping character, morality, and religious culture within society. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and analyzed using interactive data analysis techniques, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that teacher sincerity serves as the primary foundation for building emotional bonds with students, discipline is implemented through role modeling and habituation, and value-based leadership contributes significantly to character formation and community participation.
