This study aims to analyze the impact of the empowerment program for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) based on the integration of religious moderation values and digital marketing innovation in Dewi Sri Village, Laut Tador District, Batu Bara Regency. Using a qualitative approach with a research-based community service method through the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) scheme, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results demonstrate that structured mentoring significantly enhances the digital literacy of micro-entrepreneurs in operating social media, e-commerce platforms, and electronic payment systems (QRIS). Furthermore, instilling religious moderation values strengthens inclusive, honest, transparent, and fair business ethics, thereby preventing unfair competition and enhancing consumer trust. The synergy between modern technology utilization and moral-spiritual reinforcement proves effective in expanding market reach, boosting sales turnover, and fostering an adaptive and character-driven local marketpreneur ecosystem. This integrative empowerment model makes a tangible contribution to achieving economic independence and sustainability in rural areas based on moderate religious values and digital technology.
