Shincheonji's Revelation-Based MOU Agreements: A New Era of Church Cooperation

Amid declining church membership in South Korea, a movement of unity and revival is taking shape. Traditional churches facing stagnation are turning to collaboration, with many pastors seeking answers in Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. Despite challenges in the religious landscape, Shincheonji continues to grow, drawing interest for its structured Bible teachings.

A Solution to Church Decline: MOU Agreements

According to recent church statistics, major Korean denominations—including the Presbyterian Church of Korea (PCK), the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea (PROK), the Korean Methodist Church, and others—have seen continuous membership decline. 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 increasing MOU agreements with pastors seeking church revitalization.


Rising Interest in Shincheonji Collaboration

In Gwangju and Jeolla, 41 churches signed MOUs in 2023. By 2024, that number grew to 139, with 11 officially declaring themselves "Shincheonji cooperative churches" and unveiling new signboards to mark their partnership. Pastors report revitalized congregations—brighter faces, stronger worship engagement, and renewed enthusiasm for evangelism.

Transformative Impact of Revelation-Based Teachings

Many pastors share striking testimonies. A 60-year-old Presbyterian pastor, once struggling with sermon preparation, found newfound confidence through Shincheonji’s teachings. Another, after six years in ministry, acknowledged his past reliance on human traditions rather than biblical truth—now, he sees spiritual growth in himself and his congregation.

“Since engaging with Shincheonji’s Word, I no longer struggle with sermon preparation,” one pastor shared. “My preaching has newfound strength, and my congregation’s faith has grown stronger. I see their faces light up with understanding.”

Congregants, too, are reportedly experiencing transformation. More believers are actively participating in worship, responding with heartfelt “Amens,” and even sharing their faith with others.


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 Yu Jae-wook, leader of Shincheonji’s Peter Tribe.

As churches continue to struggle post-COVID, MOU agreements with Shincheonji offer a solution for growth, unity, and renewed faith. "We will continue working together to build churches that are truly alive in God and Jesus," Yu affirmed.

Shaping the Future of Faith: A New Path for Churches

Shincheonji’s MOU agreements are reshaping the religious landscape in South Korea. With a focus on Bible-based cooperation and spiritual revival, more churches are experiencing transformation, restoring their congregations, and finding new purpose in their faith.
