A Journey of Faith: Shincheonji’s Elders Deepen Their Biblical Understanding

For many, faith is a lifelong journey—one filled with questions, discoveries, and moments of enlightenment. In Shincheonji Church of Jesus, even those in their golden years continue to seek deeper biblical understanding, proving that faith knows no age limit. The elders of the Advisory Committee within Shincheonji’s 12 tribes are setting a remarkable example by actively studying the Word and sharing their newfound wisdom.

Lifelong Learning in Faith

The Advisory Committee in Shincheonji consists of believers over the age of 70 who are passionate about their spiritual growth. Many of these elders once held long-standing religious beliefs or followed different philosophies, yet they found true biblical answers in Shincheonji’s systematic Bible education. Through structured lessons and in-depth studies, they have gained a clear understanding of Scripture—something they had long searched for.

From Seeking to Understanding

Take, for example, an elder from the Philip Tribe’s Gangneung Church. Having followed Confucian traditions for generations, he dedicated years to studying classical literature, including the Four Books and Five Classics. Yet, the answers he sought about life and truth remained unclear. It wasn’t until he encountered Shincheonji’s Bible teachings that he understood the hidden secrets of Scripture. Now, he confidently shares his testimony, expressing the fulfillment he has found in his faith.

Similarly, a woman who had spent 50 years in a Protestant church once struggled to grasp the deeper meaning of Revelation. However, after participating in Shincheonji’s 10-minute Revelation speech sessions, she now confidently summarizes key biblical prophecies. Her transformation is a testament to the power of structured and accurate Bible education.


A Vibrant and Active Community

These elders are not just students of the Word—they are also active speakers and teachers. Many engage in public speech sessions, where they concisely explain core biblical concepts. Others participate in discussions and mentor younger believers, fostering a strong sense of community within the church.

Currently, over 2,100 elders in Shincheonji are involved in these Bible studies, continuously deepening their understanding of God's word. Their passion serves as an inspiration to all believers, showing that true faith is about continuous growth and unwavering dedication.


Faith that Transcends Generations

Shincheonji’s 12 tribes are committed to providing structured and accurate Bible education for believers of all ages. Through their dedication, elders are not only strengthening their own faith but also passing down their wisdom to younger generations. Their journey is a testament to the power of God’s word—one that brings clarity, fulfillment, and joy to all who seek the truth.

Faith is not just about believing; it is about knowing, understanding, and growing. And in Shincheonji, this journey of faith continues for a lifetime.
