Raoping County CC&TSPM, situated in Chaozhou, Guangdong, southeast China, recently dedicated its new building.
The plaque unveiling ceremony, which took place on April 29, was presided over by Rev. Wu Junbin, who is currently serving as the vice president and executive associate general secretary of the Raoping County Christian Council (CC).
During the dedication service held at the Shangfu Mount Church in Chaozhou City, Rev. Xu Jieping, who holds the positions of executive vice chairman of Guangdong TSPM and the president of Guangdong Union Theological College, delivered a sermon titled "Building Roots and Growing in Christ." He encouraged attendees to view the completion of the new building as an opportunity to enrich their spiritual growth in Christ, advance church growth, bear witness, and bring glory to God.
At present, there are 35 church locations with almost ten thousand believers in Chaozhou. Since the establishment of the county CC&TSPM forty years ago, the lack of fixed office space and funding has been a major obstacle to the development of the ministries of the local CC&TSPM. However, with the completion of the new venue, it is expected that the county CC&TSPM will be able to manage its team and serve grassroots churches better while easing the difficulties faced by local church locations and pastoral staff.

潮州市饶平县基督教两会举行新会址落成感恩典礼。
据广东省基督教两会，4月29日潮州市饶平县基督教两会举行了新会址启用揭牌仪式并在上浮山礼拜堂举行新会址落成感恩典礼。
启用揭牌仪式由饶平县基督教协会副会长兼总干事吴俊彬牧师主持。
感恩典礼中，省基督教三自爱国会常务副主席、广东协和神学院院长许洁平牧师以《生根建造》为题勉励大家以新会址落成为契机，在基督里生命成长，教会增长，彰显见证，荣神益人。
饶平县基督教现有35个堂点，信徒近万人。县基督教两会成立四十年来，因没有固定办公场所和经费等原因，严重制约了两会各项事工的发展。新会址的落成将强化县两会团体管理意识，提升服务基层教会能力，为基层堂点和教牧同工排忧解难。
