Pesantren function not only as institutions of religious education but also as centers for da'wah development, requiring systematic management to ensure that programs are implemented effectively and sustainably. This study examines how planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC) are integrated into the management of da'wah activities at Jabal Rahmah Islamic Boarding School in Binjai City. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with POAC serving as the analytical framework. The findings reveal an integrative, context-sensitive, and adaptive managerial pattern. Planning is conducted through deliberative decision-making and alignment with the academic calendar; organizing through committee formation and role allocation; actuating through motivation, mentoring, habituation, and peer support; and controlling through monitoring, reporting, evaluation, and follow-up. The main strength lies in the structured managerial process, while measurable performance indicators and standardized evaluation mechanisms require further development. Overall, pesantren culture, mentoring practices, authority structures, and educational rhythms shape the interconnections among POAC functions.
