The Fangcheng Fellowship (Chinese: 方城团契), also known as the China for Christ Church, is a Christian movement in the Peoples Republic of China.
Getting its name from the Fangcheng district of Henan Province, it was established in the early 1970s by Li Tianen[1] and experienced major growth in the 1980s.[2] It expanded to become one of the largest house church networks with, as of 2010, an estimated ten million members.[3] If considered Protestant, it constitutes one of the largest Protestant denominations in the world, and the second largest in China, behind the state-supported Three-Self Patriotic Movement.
