This study aims to explore the function of the mosque as a youth development center in Sungai Rumpun Village, Kerinci Regency, with a focus on Nurul Akbar Mosque. The method used is qualitative field research, involving participatory observation and in-depth interviews with relevant informants. The results of the study indicate that Nurul Akbar Mosque actively performs its functions in worship, education, and social activities. Besides being a place for prayer, the mosque also serves as a center for Quranic studies, religious lectures, and seven-minute lectures conducted between Maghrib and Isha prayers, aiming to enhance religious values among the youth and the local community. However, the study also found several challenges in the religious education programs at the mosque. Internal challenges include the lack of awareness among the youth to enliven the mosque and insufficient support from parents. External challenges involve the influence of modern technology, which attracts the youth's attention more than mosque activities. Despite these challenges, Nurul Akbar Mosque continues to strive to maximize its functions.
