Head Coach Ahn Jun-gyeom added, “This event showed us both our potential and what we need to work on. Our goal is to win the next National Sports Association tournament later this year.”


Faith Through Sports

The athletic ministry of Shincheonji Church promotes healthy faith-based lifestyles through various sports programs. These initiatives provide not only physical development but also meaningful connections among members and positive engagement with the broader community.

From victories on the field to character built in training, Shincheonji’s youth are showing how sports can be a powerful way to live out values of perseverance, teamwork, and hope.
