"Running Together, Living Together": Shincheonji Couple Found the True Meaning of Partnership on the Football Pitch

In celebration of "Married Couples' Day" in South Korea (May 21st), a unique love story from the Matthias Tribe Daejeon Church of Shincheonji is shedding light on what it truly means to walk through life as a team. For this particular husband and wife, the secrets to a harmonious marriage weren't found in a textbook, but rather on the football pitch and through their shared spiritual journey. A Match Made on the Pitch The couple's story began where they both feel most at home: the football field. The husband (referred to as A), a former professional football player in Thailand, returned to South Korea for injury treatment and tryouts. It was at a local football gathering in Daejeon that he met his future wife (B). While B had been practicing her faith at the Shincheonji Daejeon Church since 2006, A naturally joined her in 2015 after learning the Bible's teachings.

Bridging Hearts: Shincheonji Hosts Pastoral Fellowship Events in Gyeonggi and Daegu

Pastors from different churches are finding new grounds for unity, healing, and hope—through the Bible.


On June 21, 2025, Shincheonji Church of Jesus hosted two separate yet deeply connected fellowship events for pastors in South Korea. Though held in different regions with different names, both gatherings shared the same heart: bringing pastors together for honest dialogue, spiritual refreshment, and deeper understanding centered on the Word of God.

“Winners Club” Festival: A Healing Time for Pastors in Gyeonggi

Hosted by the John Tribe of Shincheonji in Gyeonggi Province, the Winners Club One-Heart Festival welcomed around 250 pastors to a vibrant and healing space themed “Connecting Heart to Heart.”
The event featured:

  • Special performances and traditional games

  • “Healing Zones” such as health checks, food stalls, and sermon-sharing spaces

  • Bible-based dialogue sessions encouraging fellowship and restoration

One participant shared, “It felt like going back to childhood. It’s been a while since I had such peace in my heart.”
Another said, “It was most meaningful to meet other pastors who share the same goal. I’ll definitely attend again.”

John Tribe leader Sung Chang-ho emphasized in his address,

“We have one God, one Jesus, and one Bible. As one family under God, let’s break down the walls and talk. Let’s become one in the Word.”


“We Are One Club” Open House: Encouraging Dialogue in Daegu

Meanwhile, in Daegu, the Thaddeus Tribe hosted the We Are One Club Open House at the Shincheonji Daegu Church, with about 50 pastors and theology students in attendance.

The event opened with beautiful musical performances and guided tours of the “HeeStory Exhibition Hall,” showcasing:

  • The church’s mission and history

  • Its peace and volunteer initiatives

  • The structure and depth of its Bible education system

A pastor commented,

“We realized we’re all trying to follow God. The organized teachings and joyful faith of young members were impressive.”

Thaddeus Tribe leader Kim Su-jin delivered a powerful message, highlighting Revelation 7 and 14, and shared,

“If we believe in Jesus, we must also believe in the Book of Revelation He promised.”


One Bible, One Goal: Unity Through Understanding

Though the names of the clubs were different—“Winners Club” in the north and “We Are One Club” in the south—the message was the same:
Let’s walk together, grow together, and lead our congregations with the truth of the Bible.

These events show that spiritual unity is not only possible but already happening—when the Bible becomes the center of fellowship.
