Shincheonji Church of Jesus marked its 42nd found­ing anniversary with cel­eb­ra­tions across the Phil­ip­pines, bring­ing together 1910 mem­bers at 31 onsite loc­a­tions nation­wide, with hundreds more joining online.

The event was part of a global observance anchored by a main com­mem­or­a­tive service in Cheongju, Republic of Korea, attended by more than 2000 congregants and livestreamed worldwide.

During the service, Chair­man ManHee Lee emphas­ised the import­ance of faith rooted in the Bible, par­tic­u­larly the Book of Rev­el­a­tion, urging mem­bers to remain faith­ful to what he described as the unchan­ging Word of God.

Foun­ded on 14th March 1984, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has grown from small gath­er­ings into a global religious movement, attributing its growth to structured Bible education programmes through the Zion Christian Mission Centre.

The church also cited its expand­ing part­ner­ships with churches glob­ally through vari­ous cooper­a­tion agree­ments, including cumulative Word exchange MOUs made with 969 churches in South Korea and 14,347 churches across 89 countries overseas.

Beyond reli­gious activ­it­ies, Shincheonji evidenced its global human­it­arian efforts centred on bib­lical teach­ings through blood drives, outreach programmes, disaster relief and clean-up efforts.
