The Youth Fellowship of Jida Church sits on the 13th floor of a golden office building in Panlong District, Kunming City.
On one afternoon in July 2021, Brother Lee Lujun of Jida Church shared a testimony of Jida Church in a telephone interview with Gospel Times, an online Chinese Christian newspaper.
Established on April 27, 2015, Jida Church has a total area of 460 square meters, equally divided into two areas. The main area covers an area of 230 square meters, which can accommodate more than 200 people for worship services. The other multi-functional area is divided into several activity areas, which can meet the needs of various fellowships to carry out activities.
At present, there are more than 300 registered believers, and the number of believers who can regularly attend church meetings reaches about 200. About 60 volunteers participated in various ministry services.
Every Sunday morning, there will be a traditional Sunday worship service and in the afternoon a music worship service. Their communion service is held on the first Sunday of each month. During the rest of the week, the church will also arrange and organize various fellowship activities and some interest group activities.
In addition, they will hold worship gathering activities at Easter and Christmas every year, as well as in China’s traditional Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and other major festivals.
The Youth Fellowship focuses on cultivating the spiritual life of young people through worship and praise, including preaching, witnessing, sharing, etc. The Study Fellowship learns God’s Word through Bible study. The Senior Fellowship enables middle-aged and elderly brothers and sisters to be taken care of and guided.
The Yi Fellowship is mainly composed of brothers and sisters of the Yi ethnic group. Bible study activities with characteristics of the Yi minority are always conducted in the afternoon of the last Saturday of each month. In addition, the church has also set up a book-selling point to facilitate the believers to read and buy their favorite books.
Jida Church currently has six full-time pastoral staff (four ordained pastors, one pastor, and one administrative fellow), with offices, church affairs group, prayer group, sound group, reception group, cleaning group, visiting group, communion group, and chalice washing group.
Brother Li said that in the future, Jida Church would take "leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity" as its own mission. With the help of "daily morning prayer" and "daily Bible reading" sections, believers would be supposed to practice godliness, take root in the Bible, watch the church and serve society.

在春城昆明市盘龙行政区，一个金色办公楼13层楼房坐落着集大教会青年团契。
在2021年七月一天的下午，集大教会李圥君弟兄接受了电话采访，讲述了集大教会的奇妙见证。
集大教会，是2015年4月27日建立，总面积460平方米，等分为两个区域。一个是“主堂区”，一个是“多功能区”。其中主堂区230平方米，可容纳200多人的礼拜聚会需要。多功能区被分割成多个活动场所，可满足教会各个团契开展活动。
目前已有注册信徒300多人，能经常参加礼拜聚会信徒保持在200人左右。约有60多位义工参与各项事工服侍。
每个礼拜天主日，有两场崇拜活动。上午是传统的主日崇拜聚会，下午是音乐崇拜聚会。每个月的第一个主日，是他们的圣餐礼拜。其余在周内的不同时间段，教会还会安排组织开展各类团契和部分兴趣小组的聚会活动。
另外，在每年的复活节、圣诞节，他们会举行崇拜大聚会活动，同时还会在我国传统春节、端午、中秋、重阳等重大节日，开展聚会活动。
青年团契着重培养年轻人灵性生命，采用敬拜赞美的形式进行，包括证道、见证、分享等等。查考团契则是采用查考圣经的方式，进行学习神的话语。老年团契是为了让中老年弟兄姊妹得到看顾及带领。
彝族团契主要以彝族弟兄姊妹为主，在每月的最后一个礼拜六下午开展有彝族民族特色的读经查经活动。另外，教会还设立了售书处，以方便信徒阅读和选购自己所喜爱的图书。
集大教会目前现有专职教牧同工六位（四位牧师，一位传道员，一位行政同工），下设有办公室、教务部、祷告部、音响部、接待组、清洁组、探访组、圣餐组和洗圣杯组。
采访结束时，李弟兄最后说：集大教会在今后会以“离开道理的开端、竭力进到完全的地步”为己任，借助“每天一晨祷”和“每天一读经”，让信徒操练敬虔、扎根圣经、守望教会、服务社会。
