A fellowship of a church in Fujian Province, on the southeast coast of China, carried out various activities with other churches for exchange and learning, combining the characteristics of young people.
Houxi Church, located in Jimei District of Xiamen, is the largest church with a history of 100 years outside Xiamen Island. In recent decades, with the urbanization of Xiamen, this rural church has grown, with the number of its followers increasing every year. On September 5, 2021, it formed the Joshua Fellowship with 41 members, all of whom are young and middle-aged between 18 and 45 years old. Among the members are anchors, designers, full-time mothers, company bosses and employees.
Besides young staff members, the head and deputy head cooperate with 19 team leaders in the service. The goal of Joshua Fellowship is to inherit the promise of God, to become the blessing of the church, and to glorify God in their families and workplaces using the changed lives.
The gathering starts with Bible study and prayer. Apart from keeping watch with prayer and equipping members with truth, the fellowship leads its members by example in equality, solidarity, obedience, and cooperation, making each staff worker used by God to let others know the truth.
Formed less than a year ago, Joshua Fellowship has communicated with many other churches. It was invited to exchange at Beimen Church in Zhangzhou, East Church in Xiamen, and New District Gospel Church.
On July 17, Joshua Fellowship was invited to sing hymns together with members of Annan Mountain Church and Pantu Church, communicating with each other and praising the Savior Jesus together.

中国东南沿海的福建省的一个教堂的一个团契结合青年人的特点，开展各种活动，并与其他教堂交流学习。
厦门基督教后溪堂是厦门岛外最大的百年历史的基督教堂，近几十年来，随着厦门城市化进展，这个原在农村的教会得以发展，信徒逐年增加，后溪堂于2021年9月5日成立约书亚团契。该团契现有成员41人，年龄都为18～45周岁之间的中青年人，团员中有主播、设计师、专职妈妈，公司老板和公司员工等。
后溪教会约书亚团契成员由各青年同工配搭服侍，团长，副团长协同19位组长配搭服侍，约书亚团契目标就是承受应许得主为业，成为教会祝福，能够使自身的生命不断被改变，在家庭职场上荣耀神。
团契聚会坚持聚会前面是查经祷告，用祷告守望，用真理装备，用真心服侍，用榜样带领大家互相平等、团结友爱，顺服同心协力，在团契里让每位同工都能被神使用，让大家能认识真理。
约书亚团契在神的带领下成立还不到一年，在堂会支持下多次走出教堂到兄弟堂会交流，先后应邀到漳州基督教北门堂、厦门基督教东部堂、新区福音堂交流学习。
7月17日应邀同安南山教会，潘涂教会献唱交流。与兄弟教会团契的肢体们交通、分享，共同赞美救主耶稣。
