Shincheonji Church of Jesus takes great strides to ensure the wellbeing of the elderly congregation members by organising health-focused programmes, offering services like blood pressure checks and health consultations, and instructing on a variety of exercises targeted at preventing issues such as hypertension, diabetes, and dementia.
As of late, South Korea has experienced a sudden drop in temperature, and the demographic that is among the most vulnerable to the change are the seniors, due to factors including thermoregulation, chronic conditions, altered physiology, and socioeconomic factors.
Accordingly, on 6th November, the Shincheonji Masan Church (part of the Matthew Tribe) held a health support campaign for the members of the seniors group, in order to help seniors look after their health by checking on health conditions they often overlook and assessing their lifestyle and eating habits. Three medical professionals from Shincheonji Mansu Church participated in the event and had participants complete a health questionnaire, measured their blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and provided brief consultations.
One believer who participated in the campaign that day was found to have high blood pressure and was unaware of it because he exhibited no symptoms while enjoying church life. He said, “I’m grateful that I found out through a simple test at church. I will continue to manage my condition through hospital treatment and live a more joyful life.”
Meanwhile, the Mansu Church continues to prioritise the health of its senior members. By combining medical expertise with compassionate service, the campaign ensured that elderly participants felt supported, informed, and encouraged to maintain healthier lifestyles.
Through initiatives like this, Shincheonji Church demonstrates its ongoing dedication to caring for its community—not only spiritually, but also physically.
