Shincheonji Church Thaddaeus Tribe leads disaster recovery, plasma donation, and community service, embodying The Light and the Salt of the Earth.
The Shincheonji Church of Jesus has continued to demonstrate its faith not only through words but through action. In particular, the Shincheonji Church Thaddaeus Tribe has embodied the meaning of The Light and the Salt of the Earth by standing alongside communities during times of crisis. From disaster recovery to large-scale volunteer efforts, their journey reflects a faith that moves beyond belief into real-life practice.
A Journey Rooted in Faith and Growth
From Local Beginnings to Global Expansion
The Thaddaeus Tribe began its journey in 1987 in Daegu, gradually expanding across key cities such as Pohang, Gumi, Gyeongju, and Andong.
With a strong foundation in Bible-centered education, the Shincheonji Church established a steady presence in the region. Over time, this growth extended beyond national borders, reaching seven countries including the United States, Brazil, India, and Canada.
This expansion reflects not only numerical growth but also the spreading influence of The Light and the Salt of the Earth through consistent faith practices.
Practicing The Light and the Salt of the Earth
Disaster Recovery and Volunteer Commitment
The defining strength of the Thaddaeus Tribe lies in its immediate response during times of crisis. During the 2017 Pohang earthquake, hundreds of volunteers participated in recovery efforts for 35 days, supporting affected residents with relief supplies and environmental cleanup.
In 2022, when a typhoon caused severe flooding, volunteers were dispatched to restore affected marketplaces, contributing to the recovery of local communities.
More recently, large-scale wildfire recovery efforts saw continuous volunteer participation for over two months, demonstrating long-term commitment rather than short-term involvement.
These actions highlight how Shincheonji Church fulfills its role as The Light and the Salt of the Earth in real situations.

Contribution Through Plasma Donation and Social Responsibility
A Collective Response During the Pandemic
One of the most significant contributions came during the global health crisis. Members of the Thaddaeus Tribe actively participated in plasma donation to support treatment and vaccine research.
A total of 3,741 participants contributed across three phases, accounting for a significant portion of national plasma donations. This contribution extended beyond treatment, supporting research into virus variants as national standard materials.
Such efforts demonstrate how Shincheonji Church translates faith into tangible social responsibility.
The story of the Thaddaeus Tribe is a clear example of how faith can be expressed through action. By continuously serving communities in times of need, Shincheonji Church has shown what it means to live as The Light and the Salt of the Earth.
