Scientific literacy is an essential competence in responding to the challenges of the digital era, particularly in understanding and evaluating the vast amount of scientific information disseminated through digital media. Limited scientific literacy skills among communities may lead to misinformation, the spread of hoaxes, and irrational decision-making. The congregation of the Pentecostal Church in Indonesia (Gereja Pentakosta Indonesia/GPI) Paya Kapar Tebing Tinggi represents a community that requires strengthened scientific literacy aligned with daily life contexts and supported by digital technology. This community service program aimed to enhance scientific literacy through a digital-based approach by utilizing interactive learning media and simple digital technologies. The implementation method consisted of planning, implementation, and evaluation stages conducted through socialization activities, training sessions, interactive discussions, and digital media utilization assistance. Evaluation was carried out to assess participants’ understanding before and after the activities. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of scientific literacy concepts, their ability to critically evaluate science-based information in digital media, and increased awareness of responsible and wise use of digital technology. Participants also demonstrated high enthusiasm and active engagement throughout the program. This activity contributes positively to improving the scientific literacy capacity of the congregation and strengthening the role of the church as a strategic partner in community knowledge development. Therefore, this digital-based scientific literacy strengthening program is considered effective and has the potential to be replicated in similar community settings.
