History

In 1889, the Methodist Episcopal Church bought four mu lands to build the Gospel Church and its annex Chongdao School (Шаблон:Zh), designing by American missionary Carl Frederick Kupfer (Шаблон:Zh).[1][2] The new church is Шаблон:Convert, which can accommodate up to 1,000 Protestants.[1]

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the church sheltered a large number of refugees from the impending Japanese slaughter.[1] The church was looted when the Imperial Japanese Army occupied Jiangsu.[1]

The church was closed during the ten-year Cultural Revolution and was officially reopened to the public in 1980.[1] In May 1982, it was designated as a municipal cultural relic preservation organ by the Zhenjiang government.[1]
