Shincheonji Yeongdeungpo Church Hosts Health Campaign for Senior Members

To support the well-being of its elderly members, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Bartholomew Tribe (led by Tribe Leader Choi Joong-il) organized a health campaign at its Yeongdeungpo Church. About 25 senior advisory members participated in the program, which combined medical checkups with practical lifestyle counseling.

Personalized Health Checks and Guidance

The event was conducted by medical professionals from the church’s Health and Welfare Department. Participants received:

• Health survey questionnaires

• Blood pressure and blood sugar measurements

• Personalized consultations on diet and daily habits

These services provided attendees with an opportunity to not only monitor their current health but also receive actionable advice for long-term lifestyle improvements.

Reassurance for Seniors

For many seniors, the campaign offered peace of mind.
One participant, Kwon Young-ae (78, Yeongdeungpo), shared,

“I often neglected my health because visiting the hospital felt burdensome. Having the church provide checkups and consultations was reassuring. I especially benefited from correcting misconceptions about diabetes risk in my family.”

More Than a One-Time Checkup

A representative from the Health and Welfare Department emphasized the campaign’s deeper purpose:

“Because many advisory members are elderly, health management is especially important. This program was not just a one-time checkup but an opportunity to reflect on personal habits and take steps toward healthier living.”

Commitment to Ongoing Care

The Yeongdeungpo Church continues to prioritize the health of its senior members. By combining medical expertise with compassionate service, the campaign ensured that elderly participants felt supported, informed, and encouraged to maintain healthier lifestyles.

Through initiatives like this, Shincheonji Church demonstrates its ongoing dedication to caring for its community—not only spiritually, but also physically.
