The community complained about the mosque youth organization that was no longer functioning. The second problem is the lack of TPA teaching staff. Based on the problems, the purpose of the community service is to make the mosque as a center of activity, foster a sense of love for the mosque, and re-procure the activities of the old TPA that had stopped running. The program is based on enhancing the empowerment of mosques as centers of civilization for the people. The importance of empowering this mosque is to better manage the programs in Raudhatul Jannah mosque, especially for new mosques that will be occupied later and be able to contribute or provide assistance so that the mosque management can be structured easily.
