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.

Shincheonji Volunteer Group Daegu Branch Cleans Up Around Daemyeong Station for Safer Winter Walkways

As winter approaches, volunteers from the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Daegu Branch carried out a major street-cleaning effort around Daemyeong Station on November 19th 2025, improving safety and walkability for local residents.

A Cleaner Morning at Daemyeong Station

Early that morning, the area surrounding Daemyeong Station in Nam-gu, Daegu looked noticeably cleaner. About 30 volunteers walked through narrow alleys and busy corners, removing built-up trash, fallen leaves, cigarette butts, and cans and bottles lodged in flowerbeds.

Their clean-up route stretched roughly 800 meters, from Daemyeong Station’s Gaenari Mansion area to Gwanmun Market — a zone known for heavy foot traffic and recurring waste-related complaints.

Local Residents Appreciated the Effort

Commuters immediately noticed the difference.
Some paused to say “The streets look especially clean today,” while one resident shared, “It’s cold, but they even cleaned in front of our homes — I’m really thankful.”

A volunteer in her 20s said she joined because winter increases safety risks:

“When snow and fallen leaves overlap, the ground becomes dangerous. We cleaned the area so both citizens and local shop owners can move safely.”

A Busy, High-Traffic Area Needing Constant Care

Because Daemyeong Station is surrounded by a subway station, traditional market, and residential blocks, thousands pass through daily. Narrow market alleys near Gwanmun Market frequently receive complaints about illegal trash disposal.

For such areas, environmental cleanup is more than beautification — it helps prevent slips, falls, and other winter accidents.

Commitment to Year-Round Care

Branch leader Kim Su-jin noted that the team will continue providing support:

“We will keep maintaining the area so citizens can enjoy a safe and pleasant walking environment.”

The Daegu branch has been selecting seasonal high-risk zones each year to conduct cleanup activities throughout the city.
