Religious moderation is an approach that emphasises tolerance, respect for diversity, and the upholding of values of togetherness within a diverse society. This research and community engagement project aims to explore the role of religious moderation in fostering peace and harmony in Kebontemu Village, Peterongan Sub-district. The methods employed were a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentary analysis. The findings of the research and community engagement indicate that the community of Kebontemu Village applies the principles of religious moderation through interfaith dialogue, joint social activities, and the role of religious leaders in reinforcing the values of tolerance and unity. This study recommends strengthening religious moderation education programmes as an effort to maintain social harmony at the village level.
