Located in Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, Shancheng Meeting Point has experienced congregational development. As a result, the congregation has been eager to build a new church building. Local Christians have been praying and seeking support for a long time. Meanwhile, distinct churches across the county and city and the local pastors have also extended support for this initiative. Pastor Wu Shanguang of the Shancheng Church, together with three generations of his family, took the initiative in donation, which encouraged the congregation's dedication of over 1.4 million yuan for the building of a new 700-square-meter structure.
After more than 200 days of intense construction, the new church is nearly finished and is anticipated to be completed before National Day on October 1, 2024.
A few days ago, Rev. Huang Lihong, Ms. Chen Ruai, and fellow members of the Beimen Church paid a special visit to the construction site of Shancheng Church to offer prayers for the timely completion of its undertaking furnishing.
The delegation headed by Rev. Huang shared that their church will furnish all the tables and chairs in addition to financial support once the new building is completed. Along with monetary donations, women believers like Ms. Chen Ruai will donate two pianos as well.
According to Rev. Mai Jianxin of Zhangpu Church, the newly built Shancheng Church will hold a dedication ceremony on October 26.

山城基督聚会点位于福建省漳州市漳浦县，随着教会发展，信徒们都迫切希望能建新圣殿，因此当地的众弟兄姐妹们也为此长期恒切祷告，争取支持。不仅如此，漳州市、漳浦县等教会以及当地牧长对山城教堂的建设都予以了支持。山城教会吴山光传道祖孙三代积极带头奉献，也带动了教会中弟兄姐妹踴跃奉献，集资140多万元，开始建设占地700平方米的新圣殿。经过200多天的紧张施工，目前新堂建设工程己接近尾声，预计2024年国庆前就可落成。
日前，漳州市北门堂黄立红牧师、陈如爱等弟兄姐妹专程来到山城教会工地，为正在装修中工程早日完成献上祷告。
黄牧师一行表示，在圣殿建成后，漳州基督教北门堂除捐资外，还表示堂内桌椅将全部由北门堂捐赠，陈如爱等姐妹除奉献资金外还将赠送两台钢琴。
漳浦县教会的麦建新牧师说，山城基督教堂将于10月26日举行献堂庆典。
