This research is descriptive research with a case study. The research informants were the chairman of the mosque takmir, the chairman of the SIAGA division, community leaders, and leaders of Islamic boarding schools who collaborated with the takmir. The research methods used are interviews and observation. Data were analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman model. The research results show that SIAGA activities include: planning, organizing, coordinating, controlling, and two new stages namely maintaining and sustaining. The SIAGA activities have implemented Islamic communication principles in their execution, including: qaulan balighan, qaulan maysuran, qaulan kariman, qaulan ma’rufan, qaulan layyinan, and qaulan sadidan. The SIAGA program is considered effective in producing ulama cadres.
