Zion Christian Mission Center's 115th Graduation Ceremony: A New Chapter in Biblical Education

December 25, 2024

On November 30, the Zion Christian Mission Center, hosted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter Shincheonji Church), held its 115th graduation ceremony at Shincheonji Cheongju Church in Cheongju, South Korea. The event made history by producing a record-breaking 111,628 graduates, reaffirming the church's exceptional educational system and the unparalleled impact of its Bible-centered teachings.


111,000 Graduates Making History

This ceremony was more than just an event; it marked a significant milestone. Despite last-minute venue changes, the program was carried out with safety and order as top priorities, concluding without a single incident. Among the graduates were 3,377 pastors, showcasing their trust in the teachings of Shincheonji Church, transcending religious and national boundaries.


A particularly notable case was that of Pastor Kang, who had served in the Presbyterian Church of Korea for 25 years. Deeply inspired by the teachings he received at the Zion Christian Mission Center, he promptly changed his church's signage to align with Shincheonji Church. "When I preached the truth I learned, my congregation's faces lit up with joy," he said, highlighting the transformative and practical impact of Shincheonji Church's teachings.


The Secret to an Outstanding Educational System

Shincheonji Church is renowned for its systematic approach to teaching the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. The 115th graduates achieved an average exam score of 96.5%, demonstrating the depth and structure of their education. A pre-graduation survey of young graduates revealed that 99.59% were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the program, with 92.66% citing the "biblical teachings" as the primary reason for their satisfaction.


The excellence of this education extends beyond personal spiritual growth. Pastors collaborating with Shincheonji Church are driving positive changes in their congregations, with new methods of church operation that reflect their advanced understanding of the Bible.


A Message of Religious Harmony and Peace

Another notable aspect of the graduation ceremony was a special performance promoting religious harmony and peace. The performance, held in the plaza outside Shincheonji Cheongju Church, called for an end to religious disputes and inspired great applause. This event demonstrated Shincheonji Church’s commitment to fostering unity and harmony, going beyond doctrinal superiority to contribute to societal and interfaith collaboration.


Chairman Lee Man-hee’s Vision and Encouragement

Chairman Lee Man-hee encouraged the graduates to "share the knowledge of the Bible freely with others" and emphasized the importance of contributing to both society and faith through good deeds. He also urged them to express gratitude to their former churches, highlighting the significance of cooperation and respect that transcends religious boundaries.


Conclusion

The 115th graduation ceremony was a important moment that showcased Shincheonji Church’s growing global influence through its Bible-centered teachings. With over 111,000 graduates, including numerous pastors working in collaboration with Shincheonji Church, this event signifies a new direction for faith and church leadership.


As Shincheonji Church continues its mission to promote biblical education and harmony, we look forward to seeing even more individuals recognize the value of its teachings and join the movement toward unity and enlightenment.

[Special Lecture on the Revelation of the World Invitation of Shincheonji church] As many as 521 world religious leaders will gather at the factual evidence debate.

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. On October 30, about 500 free religious leaders from 61 countries gathered in our country to discuss the actual evidence. What is it that religious leaders of different denominations and sects, not their own scriptures, have come together for the Book of Revelation? The purpose of this meeting is to reduce conflict and promote dialogue among different religions, sects, and denominations. But why is it the Book of Revelation? The reason is that by learning and discussing the meaning and reality of the Revelation, the core of the Christian Bible, we can confirm how God's will is done to the global community and ultimately find the answer to peace by expanding the understanding between religions. That is why the number of religious leaders attending gradually increased as the program progressed, and on October 30th, it became a large-scale event attended by as many as 521 people. When I watched this program, I saw someone dressed as a monk or someone we...

[Shincheonji Graduation Ceremony] Graduates who have found the direction and purpose of life with less anxiety and emptiness due to Bible study.

 Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Recently, one of the corrected relatives has been hospitalized after a major accident. Don't give up on life history, and it seems that life is something that healthy people don't know what will happen later on. I think a person's values are shaped by his or her attitude toward death. I think this is especially true when I hear about the accidents and wealth of healthy people around me. Most people choose to play and eat today even if they die tomorrow because there is only one life anyway, and death is inevitable. Even in the 15th chapter of the classic, the Apostle Paul also said that if the Bible's promise is not fulfilled, none of the people are more pitiful than us, and it is better to eat and play. (1 Cor 15:19, 32) Then, what about the view of life of believers who learned the Bible? This year, the Zion Mission Center surveyed about 1,000 of the graduates who took the Bible for six months and participated in the 116th graduation c...

[Shincheonji's Peter tribes] The church will discover the talents of teenagers? The 2nd Peter Heavenly Culture Academy ended successfully!

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Do you remember the fact that the Peter Heavenly Culture Academy was held last July? On the 24th, the 2nd Heavenly Culture Academy was successfully completed. I spent time playing games and playing entertainment during my school vacation, but what time did the students participate in this Heavenly Culture Academy spend during that time? If I were to say this Heavenly Culture Academy in one sentence, it can be said that it is a time to discover one's own possibilities. The second phase of the Heavenly Culture Academy consisted of 9 classes for children and 22 classes for students, and about 400 students had a satisfactory month. I thought that it was a great merit that I could learn coding in my adolescence, which I could learn only when I was a college student. I'm looking forward to what various and rich programs Peter Heavenly Culture Academy will prepare for the third term of next year, which has given teenagers a varie...

Hello, this is greeenteawannabe. In our country, there's a culture where people believe there's a reason why certain places attract large crowds.
