The Community Service (PKM) activity with the theme "The Importance of Maturation of Faith Through Christian Religious Education Based on Proverbs 22:6 at SMP Negeri 5 Salatiga" is a concrete form of implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. This program aims to strengthen the foundation of students' faith through an interactive, reflective, and participatory approach based on God's word. The activity took place over four days involving lecturers, students, Christian Religious Education teachers, and students in grades VII and VIII. The results showed a significant increase in students' understanding of faith, spiritual commitment, and awareness to live according to Christian values. Teachers also gained contextual pedagogical insights, while students gained practical service experience. This PKM not only provides short-term spiritual impacts but also serves as a model of relevant faith education that can be replicated in various Christian educational institutions.
