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.

Revelation Fulfillment Draws Growing Interest as Bible Seminars, MOUs, and Church Sign Changes Continue Worldwide

Revelation Studied as Fulfilled Reality, Not Abstract Prophecy

The Book of Revelation, long regarded as one of the most difficult and symbolic books in the Bible, is increasingly being examined as a record of fulfilled events rather than abstract end-times prophecy. This shift is becoming visible among pastors and believers in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions of Korea, according to recent developments reported by Shincheonji Church of Jesus Peter Tribe.

33 Bible Seminars, Over 72,000 Attendees in One Year

In 2025, the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus held 33 Bible seminars across the Gwangju–Jeonnam region. These seminars were attended by approximately 72,200 people, including 155 local pastors, church members, believers, and members of the general public.

Given that Gwangju and Jeonnam are regions with a long Christian missionary history and strong denominational traditions, the participation of pastors has been interpreted as a sign of growing interest in directly examining the Book of Revelation and its fulfillment.

During the seminars, participants reviewed the 6,000-year biblical history and examined when, where, how, and through whom the final promises recorded in Revelation are believed to have been fulfilled.


Responses from Pastors and Participants

Pastors who attended the seminars shared that the experience helped them confirm the reality of Revelation in the present era. They noted that explanations based directly on Scripture made it easier to understand Revelation and encouraged them to study the book more systematically.

Some pastors expressed that preparing sermons based on Revelation strengthened their preaching, while others said the study led them to reflect on the direction of their ministry and faith.

Interest Extends Beyond Korea

The movement has also drawn attention internationally. In August 2025, a Book of Revelation Bible exam was held in Tanzania, attended by 98 local pastors and 40 Shincheonji members. A participating pastor stated that the experience prompted him to reconsider both his faith and pastoral direction, expressing a desire to guide his congregation according to the teachings of Revelation.

Gospel Exchange MOUs Lead to Deeper Cooperation

Interest in Revelation has led to increased gospel exchange memorandums of understanding (MOUs) between churches. In 2025 alone, the Peter Tribe signed 71 new MOUs. As of January 2026, a total of 758 churches worldwide have entered into gospel exchange agreements with the Peter Tribe.

These agreements are intended to facilitate structured Bible-based dialogue and cooperation among churches seeking to study Scripture together.


Church Signboard Changes Reported Domestically and Overseas

In some cases, continued Bible exchange has resulted in churches choosing to change their official church signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus.
As of January 15, 2026:

  • 13 churches in Korea

  • 95 churches overseas

have completed signboard changes to align with the Peter Tribe.

In August 2025, 84 churches in Ethiopia reportedly changed their signboards simultaneously, drawing attention within international church circles.

Pastors who led churches through the signboard change shared that their sermons became more Scripture-centered, congregational engagement improved, and worship services showed renewed vitality.

Plans to Expand Bible Exchange in 2026

A representative of the Peter Tribe stated that the organization plans to continue expanding gospel exchange MOUs both domestically and internationally in 2026. Support will also be provided to churches that have already changed their signboards, with the goal of helping pastors and believers access Revelation teachings more easily.

Peter Tribe leader Yoo Jae-uk stated that pastors and believers seeking to verify the fulfilled reality of Revelation are increasingly coming forward from both Korea and abroad. He emphasized that the testimony of Revelation’s fulfillment is open to all who desire to study God’s Word.

Ongoing Global Interest in Revelation Study

The reported developments—ranging from large-scale Bible seminars and international exams to formal MOUs and church signboard changes—indicate a continued expansion of Bible-centered dialogue focused on the Book of Revelation.

These activities reflect an ongoing effort by Shincheonji Church of Jesus Peter Tribe to engage pastors and believers who wish to examine Revelation through systematic study and direct biblical comparison, based on their interpretation of fulfilled prophecy.
