Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Hwagok Church of the Bartholomew Tribe, hosted its "Open House Autumn Healing Concert" on October 25th. The event was designed to provide local residents with an inside look at church life and a healing space combining music, diverse cultural experiences, and sharing.

More than 200 citizens, ranging in age from their 20s to their 80s, attended the event eager to experience the church firsthand. Many expressed that they wanted to see for themselves what Shincheonji was really like, beyond what they had heard online or through media.

One visitor, Ho-jin Seo (69, male), explained:

“The performance was well-organised and of a high standard, so I was able to enjoy it,” and added, “The church facilities were clean and comfortable, and I was surprised because it was completely different from what I had known about Shincheonji Church of Jesus.”

The event opened with a dynamic performance by the marching band and military band, and was followed by an eclectic mix of songs that created a rich and wholesome experience.

This open house, in addition to the concert, was met with great acclaim for its community-focused programmes. Displays included:

*Shincheonji Volunteer Group initiatives such as caring for marginalised neighbours, environmental clean-ups, and donation campaigns.

*We Are One Youth Volunteer Group projects like We Are Run marathon events and the nationwide We Are Red blood donation campaign.

*Multimedia exhibits featuring the Zion Christian Mission Centre’s 100,000 graduation ceremony, which left visitors impressed by the scale and organisation.
