Shincheonji Church of Jesus Matthias Tribe transforms its promotion center into a stay-focused cultural space, attracting 15,000 visitors in one year.


At the heart of a quiet transformation, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus has redefined how people experience religious spaces. The Shincheonji Promotion Center operated by the Matthias Tribe has welcomed over 15,000 visitors within just one year. More than the number itself, what stands out is how the space has evolved—from a place to simply visit into a place where people choose to stay.


A Space Designed for Staying, Not Just Visiting

Flow That Connects Every Experience

The Shincheonji Promotion Center under the Matthias Tribe was carefully designed around a seamless visitor flow. Rather than separating exhibition, rest, and activities, the space connects them naturally.


Visitors move from exhibitions to a café, and then to performances or programs without interruption. This continuous flow encourages longer stays, turning a single visit into multiple layered experiences. As a result, many visitors return—not out of obligation, but out of comfort and familiarity.


This shift reflects a deeper strategy: instead of attracting attention momentarily, the space invites people to remain.


Programs That Keep the Space Alive

Continuous Engagement Through Culture

Over the past year, the Matthias Tribe has hosted 26 seminars and 32 cultural performances. These programs ensured that the Shincheonji Promotion Center remained active and engaging at all times.


From lectures to string performances, cello recitals, and traditional Korean music, the diversity of content attracted a wide audience. Performances became a key turning point—many visitors who initially came for an event later stayed to enjoy the café and returned with others.


This pattern gradually changed public perception. The space began to be seen less as a religious facility and more as a comfortable cultural venue.

Expanding Audience Through Accessibility

Lowering Barriers, Broadening Reach

The Matthias Tribe also reimagined how content is presented. Instead of relying solely on text, biblical themes were expressed through visual materials and video content, making them more accessible.


English docent services further expanded the reach, welcoming international visitors and foreign students. As a result, the Shincheonji Promotion Center now attracts a diverse mix of local residents, youth, religious figures, and global visitors.


The space supports multiple purposes simultaneously—viewing exhibitions, resting, meeting others, and enjoying cultural activities—all within one environment.

A New Model of Community Space

The story of the Matthias Tribe’s Shincheonji Promotion Center shows that the key to transformation lies not in opening doors, but in creating reasons to stay.


As participation-based programs expand and accessibility continues to improve, the space is steadily becoming part of everyday life. Readers may find themselves asking: what makes a place truly meaningful—its purpose, or the experience it offers?


The Shincheonji Promotion Center by the Matthias Tribe demonstrates how transforming visitor flow into meaningful experiences can redefine a space into a lasting community hub.
