安徽阜阳“麦种归正教会”因坚持家庭教会立场，公开拒绝加入国家认可的“三自教会”（TSPM/CCC），自2021年起一直遭受中共当局持续打压： 2021年8月，当地宗教事务部门（民宗局）向教会送达《取缔告知书》，随后教会设备与财物（空调、投影仪、桌椅等）被强制并非法没收。其间，张森牧师成为“维稳”对象，被监视、跟踪，并多次被传唤至警局问话。 自2023年起，当局的打压突然升级，开始大规模抓捕信徒。教会在正常聚会、学习圣经或饭后团契时，多次被公安、宗教局等部门冲击，多名信徒被带走、财物被查抄却不出具扣押清单。 2023年秋天，多名同工因聚会被行政拘留并罚款； 2024年3月，18名信徒被抓捕，其中常顺传道被拘留15天；同月底，张森牧师仅因在拘留所门口祷告就被再度拘留。 2025年3月，当局首次以“利用邪教活动危害社会”对两名信徒进行行政处罚，这是宗教事务条例实施后家庭教会遭遇的罕见升级。 2025年4月29日，阜阳现代产业园公安闯入信徒家中，将5名基督徒和10名年幼孩子一并带走，两名女性信徒被拘留并在所内遭受侮辱和粗暴对待，孩子们受到惊吓甚至出现抽搐。即便如此，官方依然未依法出具拘留决定书，拘留期限也被隐瞒；当教会聘请律师申请行政复议时，当局既不立案也不出具“不予受理通知书”，彻底堵死了合法维权的途径。 目前，张森、常顺两位牧师及马涛长老仍在刑事拘留中。
Fuyang Maizhong Reformed Church ，Faces Long-Term Persecution for Refusing to Join the State-Sanctioned “Three-Self Church” Fuyang Maizhong Reformed Church，in Anhui Province, adhering to the house-church position and openly refusing to join the state-approved “Three-Self Church” (TSPM/CCC), has been under sustained pressure from the Chinese authorities since 2021. In August 2021, the local Religious Affairs Bureau served the church with a Notice of Administrative Ban, after which church equipment and property (including air-conditioners, a projector, tables, and chairs) were forcibly and unlawfully confiscated. During this period, Pastor Zhang Sen became a designated “stability maintenance” target, subjected to surveillance, tailing, and repeated police summons for interrogation. Since 2023, the crackdown has escalated dramatically, shifting into mass arrests of believers. Church gatherings—whether Sunday worship, Bible studies, or simple fellowship meals—have been raided multiple times by police and religious affairs officials, with members taken away and property seized without receipts or legal documentation. In autumn 2023, several co-workers were placed under administrative detention and fined for holding gatherings. In March 2024, 18 believers were detained, with preacher Chang Shun held for 15 days; later that same month, Pastor Zhang Sen was again detained merely for praying outside a detention center. In March 2025, for the first time, authorities imposed administrative punishment on two believers under the charge of “using a cult organization to endanger society,” marking a rare escalation against house churches since the implementation of the 2018 Regulations on Religious Affairs. On April 29, 2025, police from the Fuyang Modern Industrial Park stormed a believer’s home, taking away five adult Christians along with ten children as young as five or six. Two women were detained and subjected to verbal abuse and rough treatment in custody, while the children were left traumatized, with one suffering convulsions. Authorities still failed to issue official detention notices, concealing the duration of detention. When the church hired lawyers to file for administrative review, officials neither accepted the case nor issued formal rejection documents, effectively shutting off all legal avenues for redress. At present, Pastors Zhang Sen and Chang Shun, along with Elder Ma Tao, remain in criminal detention.
