The promotion hall inside the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Gangdong Church (John Tribe) in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea, has officially celebrated its first anniversary—welcoming a total of 4916 visitors since its opening on November 16th last year. This represents an average of about 95 visitors per week, reflecting steady interest from the local community.

Opened in November 2024, the promotion hall was created to help local residents better understand the history, doctrine, and mission of Shincheonji Church of Jesus. The space guides visitors through biblical history and the church's development through a structured, seven-section layout:

*Biblical History & Church History (6000 years)

*Video Theatre: Biblical History & Shincheonji Church Overview

*Volunteer Activities Showcase

*Introduction to the 12 Tribes & Zion Christian Mission Centre

*Graduation Ceremonies, Bible Seminars & MOU Records

*Bible Verification Exam & Revelation Sermons

*Video Theatre: War Cessation and Peace Activities

Many visitors reported that the exhibition helped clarify misconceptions and provided a more accurate understanding of the church.

One visitor said, “I had some preconceived ideas about Shincheonji, but after seeing everything myself, I realised I had misunderstood. I could see how much the church has developed.”

Another visitor shared, “The structure and explanations were so easy to follow that I could understand the church at a glance.”

Comments such as “It felt like I read the entire Bible,” and “The exhibits were well-organised and engaging,” were also recorded.

According to the church, over 80 visitors expressed interest in studying the Bible after their tour and requested to learn more through the Zion Christian Mission Centre.

A visitor, Ms. Lee, said, “The content was well-organised, and the docent’s explanations were easy to understand, so I was able to easily understand (what kind of place Shincheonji Church of Jesus is) just by looking around.”

A representative from Shincheonji Gangdong Church stated that they plan to expand the exhibition hall with new content and develop an online version to reach more people.
