On May 13, 2020, Xiamen Xinjie Church in Fujian launched the reopening plan.
The plan says that from the day when the government announces the reopening date, the church will be closed for another way to avoid any change, according to its official news.
Known as "the First Holy Church of China", the church was originally built by an American named Pohlman in 1848 after he had collected $3000 from America. The new Romanesque church of today with a plaque inscribed with the Chinese words, "The First Christian Church of China" and "The Place Where Jehovah Resides" began to be built in 1933 and was completed in 1935.
When it is reopened, people must wear masks and have temperature tested to join in Sunday worship, weekly gatherings, and choir rehearsal.
For weekly meetings, pastors and group leaders will do the test work. If the temperature reaches above 37.3 degrees, that person must not enter. He or she will be advised to seek treatment in a fever clinic.
If any member does not recover from a cold for three or more days, he or she will be forbidden to attend the church. That person should rest at home and do daily devotions including prayers.
Believers will be encouraged to tell the staff the names of any sick Christian.
In the church, participants should avoid long talks as the pandemic will then be in the final phase. After every service, disinfection workers will sterilize the sanctuary and side hall. After each weekly service, church workers will use sterilizers to disinfect meeting facilities.
通知｜厦门新街基督教堂关于新冠疫情后复会预案
亲爱的弟兄姐妹们：主内平安！
鉴于目前新冠疫情已得到有效的遏制，复会事宜也将提到议事日程。
为此，本堂拟定复会后的预案如下，望各位弟兄姐妹遵此而行，并为世界疫情继续祷告。
愿赐平安的神与世人同在！
一、在政府公布复会即日起，本堂为安全起见，为预防万分之一的可能性，将继续暂停一周时间，仍进行主日网络崇拜。
正式开始复会，本堂会发布通知预告。
二、教会的主日聚会（三场）、周间的所有聚会、诗班的练唱，各位必须戴口罩进入本堂，并接受教会实行的测温。
三、教会在主日三场崇拜中，将组织安防组以固定人员固定场次对前来参会者进行测温。
周间的聚会：查经会由余牧师测温、祷告会由谢牧师测温、青契聚会由刘传道测温、青诗练唱由林传道测温、中老年团契由魏牧师测温、圣歌团练唱由黄传道测温、关怀部灵修由魏牧师测温（教牧人员轮到讲道时，可临时自行调换）、彩虹诗班由肖丽珠姐妹测温。
经测温，体表温度达37.3摄氏度者（实际体内温度达38摄氏度）实行登记，请勿入内。
当自行到医院发热门诊就医，并听劝勿违。
望顾全大局，予以配合。
四、弟兄姐妹们若自觉有感冒症状，特别是发热、持续咳嗽三天以上不见好转，请上医院就诊，并自行在家休息治疗，祈祷灵修，勿来教会参加聚会。
五、来到教会参加聚会，因在疫情扫尾阶段，请各位弟兄姐妹照顾好自己，尽量避免与人久驻长聊。
六、参加聚会期间，发现周围弟兄姐妹有外感症状，身体较弱或特殊情况，请尽快告知教会教牧人员。
教会当会妥善处理。
七、教堂每周主日聚会后，将请专业人员对主副堂场所进行消杀；周间聚会后，将要求教会工人对聚会场所用消毒水进行擦洗，确保公共卫生安全。
八、本堂所有教牧，在复会预案实行期间，应本着牧养之责任心，参与到相关应急之事当中，不当回避。
九、实行预案结束或重启日期，则视整个疫情大局而定，教会会另有通知发布。
特此通告
