History
The church was founded in 1933.[1][2] The pastor of the church, Wu Weiqing, graduated from Nanjing Union Theological Seminary in 1989 and has a DMin from Fuller Theological Seminary.[3] He speaks English fluently.[4]
Architecture
This design for the largest Christian church in China is characterized by a Chinese type of "triple p", meaning public-private partnership with commercial spaces on the ground floor, and by its striking facade rod system.
The current church building was designed by Meinhard von Gerkan and Stephan Schütz of Gerkan, Marg and Partners from 2005 to 2007 for €3.5 million. It has a gross floor area of 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft).[5]
Congregation
Haidian Christian Church is located near Tsinghua University, Peking University and numerous IT headquarters such as Sina.com in China's technology hub. As such, a large percentage of attendants are young.[6]
