A Heilongjiang church announced the suspension of face-to-face gatherings to meet the fire safety standards.
On January 4, Harbin Hallelujah Church issued a notice, saying it would halt large-scale events from the following day on as it is unable to esnure the integrity and effectiveness of the fire protection facilities, as the church’s buildings and facilities had grown old and broken down since it was built in 2000.
It also stated that its Sunday worship, Bible study, and prayer meetings would all be suspended till further notice, while daily devotions will be posted on its official WeChat account.
As the largest church in Harbin, it can hold up to 4000 people to worship at the same time.
