Built in 1903 when the gospel was first preached in Xingtai, the Huai'En Church has experienced quite a lot for the past 113 years.

As one of the largest churches in Xingtai, it has a building with a gray tower in the middle and two red triangle spires on two sides. It can hold 500 people with a construction area of 250 square meters. Besides this main area, the office of the Xingtai CCC&TSPM is also located inside it.
