Abstract: The youth of GKPS Sambu Baru Medan play a vital role in church services but still face limitations in multimedia skills, particularly in video editing. The main problems include the lack of technical knowledge in using professional editing software, limited high-quality documentation, and suboptimal digital publication. This community service aims to enhance youths’ soft skills and hard skills through training on profile video production using Adobe Premiere Pro CC. The program was carried out through several stages: socialization, intensive training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation. Ten youth participants joined the training with a hands-on learning approach. Evaluation was conducted through video project assessment, questionnaires, and reflective discussions. The results show an improvement in participants’ skills, with a 70% increase in soft skills and an 80% increase in hard skills, along with the establishment of an internal creative media team. This program demonstrates that project-based training effectively develops youths’ digital independence and supports sustainable church publicity.
