History

In the early 20th century, Liu Shoushan (刘寿山), a real estate developer and believer in Qingdao, Shandong, initiated the establishment of the Shangdong Chinese Independent Christian Church. In 1913, he purchased land in Jinan Commercial Port to establish a chapel, which was completed in 1915. An extension of the church, designed by Li Honggen (李洪根), commenced in 1924 and was completed in 1926. With a construction area of more than 1,300-square-metre (14,000 sq ft), it can accommodate more than 1,000 believers.

In October 2013, it was inscribed as a provincial cultural relic preservation organ by the Shandong government.
