Beijing Zhushikou Christian Church, Methodist church in central Beijing, China.
Beijing Zhushikou Christian Church is a three-story building located in central Beijing used for worship services. The interior features television monitors installed across different floors to allow people in various sections to follow services and ceremonies.
This church was established in 1904 as the first Methodist house of worship in Beijing. Its multi-story structure brought a new approach to religious building design in South Beijing at that time.
The building shows a blend of Chinese construction techniques and Western religious design in its structure, reflecting how Christian spaces adapted to local building traditions. Walking through the halls, you can see this combination in the way walls, windows, and interior spaces are arranged.
The church is accessible during service times and has visitor sections on multiple floors. It is helpful to check the schedule of services in advance to plan your visit at a convenient time.
This building was among the first in the area to use multiple floors for a single house of worship, stacking prayer and gathering spaces vertically. This approach to religious building design was uncommon in South Beijing during the early 1900s.
