Beijing House Church Pastor Arrested on Fraud Charges
Posted on 2026-11-09 19:53:13
Chinese authorities have reportedly arrested the founder of a Beijing house
church on fraud charges, amid a wider crackdown on unregistered religious
groups.

Pastor Xianfeng Edward Cui, who founded Beijing Jiaquan Church, was detained
on October 23rd.

His wife, Jin Young Gu, says the allegations involve donations made by church
members.

The church has faced pressure from authorities since 2019, when officials
sealed its worship facility and warned it about the size of its congregation.

The crackdown has also targeted other underground Christian networks.

In 2025, authorities arrested 30 leaders of Zion Church, one of China's
largest unregistered church networks.

Beijing has sought to bring religious groups under the control of the ruling
Communist Party.
