Shincheonji Church of Jesus-Gwangju and Jeonnam regional churches, MOU signing scene |
As many churches face declining membership, a growing number of pastors are finding hope through collaboration with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. With over 110,000 Bible course graduates in 2024, more churches are experiencing transformation through Revelation-based teachings and MOU agreements.
What is driving this movement? How are pastors and congregations being revived?
MOU Agreements: A Solution to Church Decline
According to recent church statistics, major Korean denominations—including the Korean Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church of Korea (PCK), the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea (PROK), and others—have experienced a continuous fall in membership. Many churches struggle to regain public trust and engagement, leading pastors to explore new solutions.
Amid this decline, Shincheonji has demonstrated remarkable growth. Since 2019, it has held graduation ceremonies for over 100,000 students annually, with 2024 marking a new record of over 110,000 Bible course graduates. This growth has sparked interest in Shincheonji’s teachings, leading to growing MOU agreements with pastors seeking church revival.
Rising Interest in Shincheonji Collaboration
At present, 139 churches have signed MOUs with Shincheonji Church in South Jeolla Province, with 11 officially declaring themselves "Shincheonji partner churches" and unveiling new signboards to mark their partnership. Pastors report revitalised congregations - brighter faces, stronger worship engagement, and renewed enthusiasm for evangelism.
Transformative Impact of Revelation-Based Teachings
Many pastors share striking testimonies of the impact of Revelation-based teachings on both themselves and their congregations. A 60-year-old Presbyterian pastor said:-
“Since engaging with the Word from Shincheonji, I no longer struggle with sermon preparation. My preaching has newfound strength, and my congregation’s faith has grown stronger. I see their faces light up with understanding.”
A Vision for Unity and Growth
Pastors who experience these changes are encouraging others to join, fostering an interdenominational network focused on truth and cooperation. “Shincheonji strives for all churches to unite under God’s Word and enter His kingdom,” says an official of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.
