On May 27, Jilin Provincial CC&TSPM announced that this year's pastoral fund would be used to assist pastoral staff with little means to support themselves due to the financial difficulties caused by COVID-19.
The local church should also give priority to ensuring the needs of full-time pastoral staff. At the same time, necessary support should be provided to families of believers who have had difficulty in living due to the pandemic, according to Jilin CC&TSPM.
The umbrella organization for the registered Protestant church in Jilin notified the church to implement key regulations during the pandemic.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the church in Jilin has implemented the "double suspension" (suspending the opening of places of worship and religious activities) measures from the end of January. The church has donated funds and materials and also organized believers to participate in the prevention and control of the pandemic. Due to the recent rebound in the number of persons who have tested positive for Covid-19, Jilin City has been locked down and religious sites have continued to be closed.
The Jilin CC&TSPM proposed that grass-roots churches should adopt various methods to give believers guidance in their spiritual life and conduct targeted visits.
At the same time, the church management organization should perform its duties in accordance with the requirements of the church regulations. They should do a good job in fire safety management, improve the safety management system, and security personnel should regularly inspect the facilities, ensuring the safety of the church buildings and service utilities.
It is also necessary to be vigilant against the activities of the Shincheonji Cult. The church should educate believers not to participate in private activities, not to listen to heresy, not be confused by eschatology, and consciously resist the destructive activities of heretics.
吉林省基督教两会下发疫情期间做好重点工作的通知
2020年5月27日，吉林省基督教两会下发在疫情期间做好重点工作的通知，要求根据疫情防控情况，本年度教牧基金将重点为受疫情影响没有生活保障的教牧人员提供经济帮助。
自新冠疫情发生以来，从一月末吉林省教会开始执行“双暂停”的防控措施，并为疫情防控捐助资金和物资，还组织信徒做志愿者参与疫情防控。而由于近期吉林市出现疫情反弹，导致吉林市封城，宗教场所还要继续执行“双暂停”措施。
吉林省两会提出：基层教会应采取各种方式，为信徒提供信仰生活指导，有针对性的进行探访。
同时，教会管理组织应按教会规章的要求尽责，做好场所的消防安全管理，完善安全管理制度，值守人员应经常巡视水电等设施，保障聚会场所的财产安全。
教会也应优先保障专职教牧人员的生活需要。同时，应对因疫情导致生活困难的信徒家庭提供必要的帮助。
要加强对韩国“新天地”异端的防范，教育信徒不参与私下活动，不收听异端的信息，不被有关末世论的言论迷惑，自觉抵制异端邪教的破坏活动。
