A church in Shandong Province, along the eastern coast of China, was dedicated.

Chengwu County CC&TSPM in Heze City officiated the dedication ceremony of Fuen Church on May 9th, with over 400 pastors, pastoral staff, and believers from different regions in attendance, said Shandong CC&TSPM.

During the service, Rev. Lin Dongqi, director of county CC&TSPM, emphasized not only the church's unwavering commitment to upholding principles of autonomy and self-governance but also dedicated efforts to the process of sinicization of Christianity. This initiative promotes and preserves the heritage of traditional Chinese culture while maintaining the Christian faith.
