On November 2nd, 2025, Shincheonji Church’s graduation ceremony was held. According to the church, 59,192 people completed the programme through the Zion Christian Mission Center, a biblical education institute operated by Shincheonji Church of Jesus. The church said the graduates are “believers who have mastered the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation.”

The Zion Christian Mission Centre offers a structured curriculum covering the full Bible, emphasising prophecy and fulfilment to help students understand the flow of God’s will and scripture. To graduate, students must complete three levels - elementary, intermediate, and advanced - and score at least 90 percent on a comprehensive exam.

At the graduation ceremony standing before the crowd, Chairman Lee said, “Scripture warns that if you add to or subtract from God’s word, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven” (Revelation 22:18–19). “Our church masters Revelation,” he said. “If you truly seek genuine faith, come to Shincheonji and learn.”

He added, “Too many people claim to believe in Jesus yet fail to follow the Bible completely. Do not rely on church authority - examine for yourself whether your faith aligns with the scriptures.”

Despite increasing persecution, criticism, and opposition toward Shincheonji, nearly 60,000 people graduated this year. The number of pastors among them continues to grow, with more than 13,500 pastors completing the programme in the past four years.

One of the featured testimonies came from graduate Oh Seon-kyung, a former pastor who said he had planted three churches before joining Shincheonji.

He explained that before resigning from the pastor, his biggest concern was not being able to teach Revelation due to a lack of understanding of Revelation, no matter how many times he read through the Bible (he said over 30 times). At the Zion Christian Mission Center, he could find the true meaning of Revelation. He expressed deep regret that he learned Revelation after his resignation, because the reason he wanted to know Revelation was for his church members. He said that he is sad about it, but he always prays for his former church members, wishing that they find the path to salvation.

The graduation ceremony, themed “Love and Blessing: Light Illuminating the World,” filled the church in Cheongju with about 20,000 graduates. Due to limited space, additional participants joined remotely from Shincheonji churches across Korea and abroad via livestream.
