Feng'en Church on Changxing Island, Chongming District, Shanghai was dedicated on September 25, 2017. The district's whole pastoral staff and more than 500 Christians attended the dedication service.

The service was presided over by Rev. Chen Meijin, director of the Chongming District CCC&TSPM. Elder Chen Zhimin, secretary general of the Shanghai CCC&TSPM, preached a sermon entitled "Where the House of God Is."
