On August 19th, 2023, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the tabernacle of the Testimony held a press conference at the Peace Training Institute in Gapyeong.

During the press conference, Shincheonji shared the results of exchange and cooperation with other Christian denominations and opinions about the direction church should head toward.

Attended by more than 100 journalists and others, Shincheonji shared the achievements of its MOU with other denomination and Chairman Manhee Lee had a Q&A session with the reporters. 

Shincheonji announced that even during the pandemic, over 100,000 graduated the Zion Chrisitan Mission Center last year and currently more than 110,000 students are taking the course at the center.  Among these students include 435 domestic pastors and 2442 pastors from abroad. After the grand Bible seminar in April, 69 domestic and 1,274 overseas pastors signed MOU with Shincheonji. Currently the number of churches signed MOU is 8,176 from 80 countries.  

Shincheonji explained that the reason behind the rapid growth of Shincheonji is its quick response to the social distancing, providing their educational program through online and their focus on the Bible and its word rather than outer appearance of the church. 

Chairman Manhee Lee said that "it is no use unless you learned the word of the Bible with faith. Jesus is one, Christianity is one. There is no need to fight and have hard feelings about others. The Bible is one. Thus, there should not be fight from religion. Rather than conflict, we should harmonize with one other." 

Shincheonji said that "we will actively communicate with other churches to become one under God. Not only Bible education, we will do our best to do the responsibility of church at the local community and will also support churches with difficulties.
