About China Partnership
China Partnership longs to see a vibrant and life-transforming Chinese church that roots itself in the gospel of grace and impacts the foundations of Chinese society, as it serves and leads within the global church community.
We help support an indigenous gospel movement in China
There is a tremendous need for the gospel in China.
Yet the doors are closing for the West: in the coming years, it will be increasingly difficult for Western churches and mission organizations to operate in China. How can we in the West, alongside the rest of the global church, continue to support the spread of the gospel?
It’s time for a change in missions.
Rather than focusing on the individual callings of missionaries, China Partnership believes in focusing on the establishment of the local church. When the gospel breaks through into the hearts of people, local leaders take ownership as they experience renewed theological vision of the gospel, the community, and the city. We desire to listen first, ask more questions, and assist local leadership accordingly.
By offering resources, cultivating prayer, and helping publish the voice and theology of the Chinese house church for the world, our goal is to help see the gospel go deeper and wider in China.
Get Involved
We depend on our partners to help us support the indigenous Chinese church. Would you consider coming alongside us?
Why China?
China has the potential to become a nation greatly shaped by the redemptive grace of Christ. It has the potential to be next great cultural center of the gospel.
Now is the time to devote our lives to the gospel capturing the Chinese mind and heart for the glory of our resurrected Lord.
The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have eternal implications for humankind, and for all of creation. It is this message that will redeem God’s people and generate genuine Christ-followers. It has the power to transform neighborhoods and cities, and to renew the culture. It will establish strong counter-cultural, yet culturally literate, life-giving, and grace-centered churches. It is this big, cosmic, eschatological gospel that the Chinese people need to hear as they go through a time of cultural reconstruction.
Change and transformation must start from God’s people and flow out from this kingdom of heaven on earth. We pray that the gospel of Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected would capture the hearts of the Chinese. It may take a hundred years, but we look to Christ in hopeful expectation that he will renew China as a people after his own heart.
