From a Small Basement to a Global Faith: Shincheonji Church of Jesus Marks 42 Years
Today, 15th March 2026, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereinafter referred to as Shincheonji Church of Jesus) held its 42nd anniversary service at Shincheonji Cheongju Church to an attendance of approximately 2200 members in person, with many more attending both from Korea and overseas via a live online broadcast.
The service was a meaningful time to look back on the past 42 years, express gratitude for the sacrifices of predecessors in faith including Jesus and the martyrs, and to seize the opportunity to renew one's commitment to a faith centred on the Bible.

During the service, Chairman ManHee Lee delivered a sermon, in which he urged the congregation to master the Word and be born again as full believers as saints of the 12 tribes of God's new kingdom created according to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament.
Chairman Lee particularly emphasised that the creation of the 12 sealed tribes in Revelation is God's purpose and Jesus' promise, underlining the need for caution regarding prophecy and its fulfilment.
Citing Revelation 22:18-19, Chairman Lee emphasised, “Since the word of God is absolute, believers who trust in Jesus' promise must never take the creation of the 12 tribes and the fulfilment of Revelation lightly.”

Chairman Lee’s powerful sermon on the importance of Revelation, which lasted over an hour, was met with continuous applause and "Amens" from the congregation throughout.
Meanwhile, for the past 42 years, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has focused on sharing the fulfilment of the book of Revelation with the world. This mission is clearly seen through the Zion Christian Mission Centre, a Bible education centre.
Since the first graduation in 1991, many students have completed Bible education.
In 2019, more than 100,000 graduates were recorded, which marked a phenomenon in the religious world.
Moreover, 59,192 graduates gathered for the Class 116 graduation ceremony, and a large proportion of them were international students, demonstrating how the gospel of Revelation is spreading around the world.
What began in a small basement in June 1984 with a small group of believers full of passion for God's Word has now become a global mission of faith.
And the journey continues.
