The Seongnam Church of Shincheonji Church of Jesus (Shincheonji Seongnam Church) and a pastor of a Baptist Church in Gyeonggi Province signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate towards a common goal within Christianity.

The MOU agreement, which was signed at Shincheonji Seongnam Church, on the 20th of July, is a pledge between both groups to work together so that believers around the world can practise the faith that God wants them to have based on the correct knowledge of the Bible.

To date, around 13,000 churches worldwide have signed MOUs with Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Of this figure, around 1300 churches have changed their signage to Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

The pastor of the Baptist church who signed the MOU said, “There have been many misunderstandings about Shincheonji Church of Jesus, but my thoughts have changed a lot through this MOU exchange. I hope we can continue to communicate and help each other in the future.”

A Shincheonji Seongnam Church official said,  “In this climate where Christianity is stagnating, if we help each other and interact with each other, we will all be able to grow and work towards the revival of the Christian faith.”

Five more churches are planning MOU agreements with Shincheonji Seongnam Church in the second half of this year.
