Partners

FCC partners with several Christian and development organisations within the UK and China. A number of these creative partnerships began when FCC was founded in 1984 and continue today.

The China Christian Council

The China Christian Council is an independent umbrella organisation serving the ecclesial needs of Protestant churches in China. It publishes and distributes the Bible and a vast array of Christian materials, as well as acting as a liaison between various churches and maintaining church order. It is responsible for theological education in the 21 theological colleges and coordinates continuing education and training programmes for churches, lay workers, evangelists and ministers throughout China. FCC has a long standing and fruitful partnership with the CCC in linking with several theological colleges and helping with social services projects.

The Amity Foundation

The Amity Foundation was the first faith-based non-government organisation (NGO) in China, founded in 1985. It was inspired and created by Christian leaders in China, as a way to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ within Chinese society through health, education, social service and development and relief work. It is also involved in NGO training and is one of the most respected non-government organisations in China today. We are represented on the European Network of Amity Partners, (ENAP) collaborating with a wider group of partners across Europe to support the work of the Amity Foundation.

Scottish Churches China Group

The Scottish Churches China Group (SCCG) is an ecumenical charity, formed in 1983, which is engaged with partners and projects in China, specialising in education and public health. It brings together representatives from the main Christian churches and fellowships in Scotland. Its current areas of support include the development of palliative care as a recognised medical discipline in China, physical rehabilitation staff skill sharing, special needs education and dementia care. The SCCG has a unique relationship with Shengjing Hospital in Shenyang, which was founded by Scottish Christian medical missionary Dr Dugald Christie in 1883.
