430 Pastors Join Shincheonji Seminar, Calling for Removing Denominational Barriers and Fostering Cooperation

- Shincheonji’s Bible Seminar held at Yeongdeungpo Church with Chairman Lee as the lecturer
- Strengthened exchanges between Christian churches and Shincheonji Church and began discussions on joint ministry and community activities

“The fact that so many pastors gathered just to hear Chairman Lee Man-hee’s lecture is meaningful in itself.”

This was the response from Pastor Kim Shin-sil (pseudonym; Presbyterian), who traveled from Gwangju to hear the revealed word firsthand.

On 28 March, 430 pastors gathered at the Yeongdeungpo Church of the Bartholomew Tribe of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus to attend the “2026 Shincheonji's Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation.".”

Chairman Lee Man-hee was the lecturer at the seminar, preaching on the Bible's prophecies and their fulfillment, including the Book of Revelation.

During the lecture, Mr. Lee said, “As those who believe in God, there must be no flaws in what we know,” adding, “We must self-reflect to see whether we stand in truth or not based on the Bible, and if we are in the wrong, we should be born again.”

Mr. Lee continued, “What I hope for is to have dialogue with pastors through the Bible,” emphasizing, “If it aligns with the Bible, we should call it right and if not, we should say so. This is the proper attitude of a believer. Let us be renewed with the heart of being born again and become one in God.”

In the second session following the lecture, discussions on practical cooperation were held with pastors who had signed MOUs (Memorandums of Understanding) to experience the Bible with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which further added significance to the event.

At the meeting held under the theme of “Pastoral Ministry Sharing and Exchange Gathering,” participants examined the current state of Christianity in Korea and discussed the path forward. Furthermore, specific ways of cooperation were explored, including regional collaboration and joint ministry between Shincheonji and pastors from established denominations.

Approximately 130 pastors who joined the gathering agreed, saying, “Since the pandemic, believers’ faith has weakened, and many churches have closed,” and added, “Now is the time to break down denominational barriers and cooperate based on the Bible.”

Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, “We hope this event will result in continued exchange and collaboration with pastors,” and added that “We will continue to provide platforms for exchange that offer practical support to pastoral ministry.”

Meanwhile, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus plans to continue its nationwide Bible seminars this year, which began in Gwangju on 4 January.
