==Acquisition of Gimcheon University==
Gimcheon University, facing closure after receiving an E grade in the 2016 evaluation and experiencing significant management difficulties, including unpaid staff salaries and a shortfall in student admissions, transferred its management rights to the Good News Mission in 2021. The agreement included inheriting the Christian founding philosophy, job succession, 20 billion KRW in financial support, salary restoration, and management participation until the university is stabilized. Gimcheon University has not officially commented on the transfer to the Good News Mission, which is deemed a cult by the Korean church. The Gimcheon City Christian Council and local churches plan to raise awareness among residents about the cult's risks and the potential harm to the local image.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kim|first=Tae Hyun|title=기독교대학 김천대, 박옥수 구원파에 넘어가…충격|trans-title=Christian University Gimcheon Falls to Park Ok-soo's Guwonpa: Shocking Development|url=https://www.kdknews.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=2857|access-date=16 July 2024|newspaper=kdknews.com|date=11 June 2024}}</ref>

On April 29, 2024, Gimcheon University amended its academic regulations to establish a "Department of Theology" for the 2025 academic year, aimed at training pastors from the Guwonpa (Salvation Sect). The university also has a Department of Theology in its graduate program to prepare pastors and theologians. Chairman Park Ok-soo announced at a press conference that the university plans to recruit over 500 foreign students annually through its missionary countries and provide financial support amounting to 20 billion KRW.<ref>{{cite news|last=Oh|first=Myung Ock|title=세칭 구원파대학교 '김천대'... 학칙개정해 '신학과' 신설|trans-title=So-Called Guwonpa University 'Gimcheon University' Establishes New 'Department of Theology' After Amending Regulations|url=http://www.churchheresy.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1460|access-date=20 August 2024|newspaper=Church and Heresy|date=19 August 2024}}</ref>
