Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the kyai in pesantren in Java. This addresses to the roles of religious leader in pesantren. This writing applies Max Weber’s concept on religious leadership and charisma. The research finds that the structures and patterns of leadership and power of Kyai within pesantren are strong in which kyai is positioned as the main figure. It can be seen on how a kyai build his strategic role as the non-formal leader in society through intensive communication with the people. The charisma of a kyai also gains people's support, to some extents, caused by his moral stability and faith quality. This process at first starts from the nearest group around the pesantren and then spread out to the distant places.
