Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Opens Church Doors for 20 Years, Strengthening Community in Jeonju

The Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe (Doma Tribe) in Jeonju has continued a long-running community engagement initiative, keeping its church facilities open to local residents for nearly two decades. Located in Palbok-dong, Jeonju, the Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Jeonju Church recently hosted another “Open Sanctuary” event, transforming its lobby into a welcoming space for neighborhood interaction. Residents gathered to enjoy busking performances, exchange handwritten message cards, and share tea in a relaxed setting. According to the church, the initiative is not a one-time event but part of a 20-year tradition of lowering physical and social barriers between religious facilities and the surrounding community. A “Barrier-Free Community Living Room” for Local Residents For two decades, the Thaddaeus Tribe has used its church space as what it describes as a “barrier-free Community Living room” — a place where: Seniors can rest comfortably Single-person households can find companionship ...

📢 A New Wave in Korean Christianity: Over 100 Churches Hang Shincheonji’s Signboard

🔥 A Historic Shift: From Prejudice to Partnership

In a move once thought unthinkable, over 100 established churches in Korea—mostly from Presbyterian, Holiness, and independent backgrounds—have now officially hung signboards bearing the name “Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

This is not just a name change. It’s a declaration of faith.

Despite years of misunderstanding, social pressure, and the stigma of being labeled a “cult,” these pastors and congregations are choosing the Word over tradition, opening their churches to Shincheonji’s biblical teachings, especially on Revelation.


🕊️ Why Are Pastors Making This Choice?

It began with Scripture-based exchanges (MOUs). As pastors studied Shincheonji’s teachings—particularly the testimony on the fulfillment of Revelation—many experienced something they hadn't before: clear, biblical answers.

“They didn’t tell me to join Shincheonji,” said one pastor.
“They asked me to check the Bible for myself. And when I did… I saw truth.”

For these pastors, truth became more important than church politics or denominational loyalty. They chose to share what they had discovered—not quietly, but publicly, by placing Shincheonji’s name on their churches.


📈 A Bold Decision: 100 Churches Now Carry the Shincheonji Name

In October 2024, Shincheonji launched its “Partner Church” campaign, encouraging pastors to publicly stand by what they believed. The message was simple:

“If you believe Shincheonji’s Word is the truth, then preach it openly—even on your signboard.”

Just six months later, by May 2025, over 100 churches across South Korea—including Presbyterian, Holiness, Full Gospel, and independent churches—have replaced or added their church signboards to display the name:

“Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

This is public conviction—etched in stone, above their doors.

As of April 2025, a total of 858 churches worldwide have signed MOUs with Shincheonji for ongoing Scripture exchange. But 100 of those in Korea have taken it one step further—declaring publicly what they now stand for.

This isn’t just support behind closed doors.



📣 “Our Church Has Changed”: Testimonies of Transformation

Pastors report that since adopting Shincheonji’s teachings:

  • Members are returning to church

  • People are inviting their families and friends

  • Sermons are no longer vague, but deep and scripture-based

“For the first time, our church feels alive,” said a pastor in Seoul.
“We thought we needed programs. But what our members wanted was the Word.

A pastor from Daejeon added:

“After preaching Shincheonji’s Revelation, our members’ hearts changed.
They began evangelizing on their own.”

 

📖 “The Bible, Not Denomination, Must Be the Standard”

Many pastors echo this truth:
“Jesus was not part of a denomination. His standard was the Word of God.”

They now urge other pastors to lay down fear and pride and return to the Bible as the final authority—not church structure, not tradition.

“We must stop fearing that someone will ‘take our church.’
This is about leading souls to heaven through truth.” – A pastor of 40 years

 

🔔 Shincheonji’s Response: “This Is the Beginning of True Reformation”

A representative from Shincheonji Church of Jesus said:

“This is not about recruiting members—it’s about restoring faith to the Bible.
The churches that once rejected Shincheonji are now proclaiming the fulfillment of Revelation through their own pulpits.”

“This is a movement like the Reformation—based not on protest, but on prophecy and fulfillment.

 

💬 Final Thoughts: A Bible Movement for the World

What began in Korea is now spreading globally.

Shincheonji continues to teach that Revelation is being fulfilled today, and invites all churches, regardless of denomination, to confirm it—verse by verse.

This isn’t about joining a new group.
It’s about returning to the truth of the Bible.
It’s about becoming one in the Word.
