Religious character development in Islamic schools still faces challenges in fostering students’ religious awareness beyond formal compliance with religious practices. This study aims to examine the process of constructing students’ religious experiences and to identify the obstacles in shaping religious experience through the Character Building Islamic Program at MTs Negeri 1 Banyuwangi. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that students’ religious experiences develop through reciprocal interactions between the religious environment of the school, repetitive religious practices, and students’ personal meaning-making of socio-religious experiences in daily life. Students’ religious experiences evolve from normative involvement toward more reflective and personal religious awareness. The study also identifies several obstacles, including normative religious participation, mechanical religious practices, limited reflective guidance, and the influence of social environments outside the school. These findings indicate that religious character development should not merely emphasize formal habituation, but also provide reflective spaces and personal guidance in shaping students’ religious experiences
