This study aims to examine the contribution of religious instructors (penyuluh agama) in shaping religious moderation behavior within society. Religious moderation is a vital principle in maintaining harmony in Indonesia's pluralistic religious life. This research employs a qualitative approach with a field study method, utilizing in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving religious instructors and their communities. The findings reveal that religious instructors play a significant role as agents of change through educational approaches, role modeling, and persuasive communication. They effectively instill values of tolerance, justice, and balance in religious practices. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the transformative education approach in the context of religious outreach and civil society strengthening. However, this study is limited by its geographic scope and does not thoroughly analyze the influence of policy factors on the effectiveness of religious instructors. The practical implication of this study highlights the importance of enhancing the capacity and institutional role of religious instructors in the national religious moderation program. Future research is recommended to conduct comparative studies across various regions with diverse cultural backgrounds and to integrate policy analysis in developing community-based religious moderation programs. This study is expected to contribute significantly to strengthening religious moderation strategies through community-based approaches.
