The Journey to Graduation: A Path of Patience, Dedication, and Truth:

Graduation at Shincheonji isn’t merely about studying theology; it’s about mastering the essence of the Bible itself. Also, it is not an easy journey—it’s a meaningful process that requires resilience, patience, and a steadfast commitment to the power of truth. 

Each graduate has gone through an intensive 8 to 9 months of study, progressing through elementary, intermediate, and advanced courses designed to deepen their understanding of the Bible. Completing this course isn’t for the faint-hearted. To graduate, students must pass a rigorous final exam with a score of 90% or higher, reflecting their deep dedication to learning God’s word.

Many face challenges along the way, but it’s the profound power of the truth that fuels their journey, giving them the strength and conviction to persevere. This shared experience of dedication makes Shincheonji graduates part of a global movement, united by a commitment to God’s teachings and a passion for living in accordance with His word. Their journey is a testament to what faith, truth, and unity can achieve, inspiring all those who witness it.
