CCD Monthly                                                              January 2026

Foreword:


Greetings! We are China Christian Daily, the first comprehensive English Christian news website about the church in China. 

As we step into 2026—also marking the second decade of our journey—we are rethinking how we share stories of the church in China with readers around the world amid a changing landscape, both at home and abroad.

Alongside our ongoing news coverage and featured columns, we are introducing more non-news content this year. Through interviews, personal stories, and reflective pieces, we hope to offer you deeper insights into the life, faith, and witness of the church in China beyond the headlines.


Our monthly newsletter is part of this renewal. You will find new columns, a refreshed layout, and more space for stories that invite understanding, dialogue, and connection.

We hope you enjoy this new chapter—and as always, we warmly welcome your thoughts, reflections, and voices.
