Xita Church

Xita Church is a six-story building located on Shifu Road in central Shenyang that houses a Protestant congregation. The complex blends the original 1917 structures with later additions, creating spaces for worship and community gatherings.

Korean missionaries founded the church in 1917, establishing it as one of the earliest Protestant sites in Northeast China. It closed during the Cultural Revolution but was restored and has remained active since then.

The church anchors a neighborhood where Korean families have built their community and kept their traditions alive. It serves as a spiritual center that reflects the daily life and identity of the people who live in this area.

The building is centrally located and easily accessible by public transportation in Shenyang. The site remains an active place of worship, so visitors should be mindful of service times and community use.

The original 1917 building is still standing on the right side of the current complex, allowing visitors to see where the church started. This preserved section reveals how the congregation expanded and modernized while keeping its earliest structure intact.
