Shincheonji Church of Jesus Produces Over 60,000 Graduates... 

More Than 13,000 Pastors in Just Four Years

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Man Hee Lee), announced that 59,192 graduates completed the 116th Zion Christian Mission Center course during the ceremony held at the Cheongju Church on November 2. Under the theme “Love, Blessings, and the Light that Shines upon the World,” the event was composed of three parts: the opening ceremony, a commemorative worship service, and the graduation ceremony. Despite resuming full offline education after the pandemic, the unprecedented number of graduates drew global attention, reflecting a growing desire for deeper understanding of the Word.

The Zion Christian Mission Center offers a free and systematic Bible education covering the entire Scriptures—from Genesis to Revelation—focusing on “prophecy and fulfillment.” Graduation requires completing all three levels (elementary, intermediate, and advanced) and scoring over 90 points on a comprehensive exam. Shincheonji Church explained that this achievement reflects “the growing thirst for truth that transcends denominations and doctrines.”

Among the graduates, 2,248 were pastors, marking a significant milestone. Over the past four years, more than 13,500 pastors have completed the Zion Christian Mission Center, signaling the spread of biblical understanding beyond denominational boundaries. In a press conference, Chairman Man Hee Lee emphasized, “Shincheonji is where people understand and practice the Bible as it is,” urging the media to play their role in delivering the truth accurately.

The event also featured a congratulatory message from Buddhist monk Beophye, who stated, “Today’s graduation is not an end, but a new beginning toward truth and love. May you live out the Word and make the world brighter.” Chairman Lee cited Revelation 22:18–19, saying, “Those who add to or take away from the Revelation cannot enter heaven,” in his sermon and urged believers to base their faith solely on Scripture.

During the third part of the ceremony, awards were given for perfect attendance, evangelism, and completion, followed by heartfelt testimonies from graduates. Former pastor Oh Sun-kyung, who once established three churches, shared, “I finally understood the true meaning of Revelation, which no seminary could teach. From now on, I will spread this truth beyond denominations.” Director Tan Young-jin of the Zion Christian Mission Center concluded, “Shincheonji’s growth is possible because God is with us. These graduates have matured into true believers centered on the Word.”

The 116th Graduation Ceremony of Shincheonji marks a historic moment, showcasing the spreading ‘light of the Word’ to believers around the world.
