This article, through case studies, summed up the status quo of contemporary urban development of the Church. Questionnaire was used, based on the current organizational form of urban Christian Church investigation showed that: Shenyang and guide the faithful in the church level, based on the Church of God of the traditional rule-based organization, they also absorbed the contemporary social organization system requirements, will be formed in the majority of believers institutionalized traditional venues for religious activities; in good governance at the level of the church, the church is the absorbing layer of bureaucracy in the contemporary system of social organization, established an institutional framework, which will lead the system within the framework of teaching staff and staff members of the institutionalized.In contemporary China, the process of urban development of the Church, similar to Shenyang, the institutionalization of such a change in the path of the Church has been not just a few. Although this path may have institutionalized the church and regional differences in personality, but they are showing a "system of religion" in the development and changes shape, but it is a common phenomenon. The emergence of this phenomenon is no doubt the changes in contemporary Chinese society and differentiation are closely related. A pluralistic society as a whole for the first time created a big divide parallel sector, social sector to become an independent division of the coexistence of a number of professional structure, so that diffusion of religion means to survival, they are gradually restricted to a more definite boundaries where the organizational form. Shenyang, the church, as is currently the development of such a situation Naishi in the form of social organization, community-style methods of operation, reflecting the system of contemporary Christian-based development trend, and in its internal organization of the system is set on gradually reflect the contemporary social studies layer characteristics of the Organization's activities.

The transformation of contemporary Chinese society and the changes to promote religious organizations and society to adapt to changes in the emergence of new problems, namely, from religious beliefs, world views and even more related to religious organizations and institutions, and others. Through social interaction with the church, so that Christian organizations of the system exhibits a certain degree of social trends and the bureaucracy of the system requirements. In this study, a new system of open systems theory of Marxism as the theoretical framework for institutional analysis as the main research methods of this article.Part two is mainly introduced by the Christian world today, the concept of statutory interpretation, and History of the Christian church do to the summary, while analyzing the history of the Chinese Christian Church heritage features and the corresponding features of the church system of organization.Part three is a church in Shenyang case studies, historical documents from the church was informed of the History of the Church and the Church in the development of the situation and the church organization and management aspects of the current investigation, and analysis of the existing church system of organizationPart four is the church and social activities, religious activities, investigations, and church activities and manage the performance of the growing professionalization of institutionalization of the form analyzed and summarized.Fifth component is the current organizational model of the church and run to investigate the mechanism analysis and summarized.Part five of the main sources of income and expenses for the Church and the Church of economic management of the investigation and analysis, also found that the church as a community organization in the institutionalization of the Church of economic management model has taken shape.Part six of the main sources of income and expenses for the Church and the Church of economic management of the investigation and analysis, also found that the church as a community organization in the institutionalization of the Church of economic management model has taken shapePart seven is the conclusion, through a church in Shenyang case study found that Christianity as a faith-based organizations and independent belief systems include at least two major dimensions, one for their spiritual pursuits and beliefs of the true, two for the Church building and social participation. Generally speaking, although a link between the two, but there are many fundamentally different. Beyond its former level, to express their vision of those who believed the pursuit and ultimate concern; while the latter for their inexperienced level, the social system appears to have been affected. Secularization of the church is bound to show the complex side.Then we can see the first church as a social organization and its institutional development would be a broader awareness. The second church communities functioning in a bureaucratic organization development trend of the actual activities of the church in a basic rendering.
