In 2025, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus Thaddaeus Tribe expanded its engagement with local communities through a combination of social contribution, interfaith dialogue, and public outreach. Rather than limiting its activities to internal religious practice, the Thaddaeus Tribe focused on strengthening its role as an open religious community interacting with pastors, residents, and socially vulnerable groups. According to the Thaddaeus Tribe, the year was marked by sustained efforts in communication, volunteer service, and Bible-centred events aimed at building trust and cooperation with society.
One of the Thaddaeus Tribe's key initiatives in 2025 was the 20 cultural performances and church opening events hosted to a total of approximately 4500 visitors, including Daegu citizens and religious figures.
The keywords promoted by the church are "communication" and "transparency." In particular, the "Open House" built trust on an interfaith level between the church and pastors and religious leaders from other denominations.

A representative of the Thaddaeus Tribe stated that 2025 was a year not only of maintaining faith commitments, but also of walking alongside local communities through service, dialogue, and cooperation. The church emphasised its intention to continue expanding its role as a religious community that contributes positively to society.
Moving forward, the Thaddeus Tribe plans to further develop programmes that support social responsibility and community coexistence, reinforcing its approach of faith expressed through both teaching and action.
