Abstract
This Community Service (PkM) program aimed to empower the community of Polo Village, South Amanuban, South Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara, spiritually and socially through a holistic approach. The methods employed included religious mentoring (revival services, seminars, creative children's worship), home visits, as well as diaconal and health services. The activity was conducted from August 1-4, 2024 at the Kidung Salomo Congregation Church, involving 200 congregants. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in children's and youth's spiritual understanding, congregational spiritual renewal, and the fulfillment of basic needs through food assistance and health services. Active community participation reached an average of 85%, indicating high interest in the program. This activity successfully strengthened the community's spiritual resilience and established a sustainable mentoring model that can be adopted by the church and local stakeholders.
