In recent years,Christianity has developed rapidly in our country.The number of Christian believers has reached more than 38 million,and religious staff is approximately 57,000.The total number is huge and steadily rising.It has become the second largest religion in China's Han area after Buddhism.As its social activities are more intensive and more organized,its social influence continues to increase.At the same time,Christian house churches have emerged quietly and have seen a large-scale spread across urban and rural areas,involving millions of believers,and religious activities have shown flexibility,enthusiasm,and concealment.The disorderly development of Christian house churches poses a severe challenge to the government in managing religious affairs according to law,and at the same time it also provides opportunities for foreign religious infiltration forces.Therefore,to strengthen the study of Christian house churches,to balance the infiltration?combating illegal religious activities and maintaining freedom of religion and religious beliefs?meeting the needs of the masses for normal religious beliefs,are of great theoretical and practical significance for aggregating broad masses of people and safeguarding national security and social stability.There are extremely important theoretical values and practical significance.This article starts from the theory and uses literature analysis to briefly summarize the historical evolution of Christianity's introduction into China and its continuous development,expounding the time background of the emergence of Christian house churches in China,and sorting out domestic research results in recent years,from the concept analysis,scale exploration,Types of classification,social impact and other perspectives are briefly reviewed.Secondly,through the analysis of the secretly organized attributes and religious community attributes of the house church,multidimensional perspectives are considered to be essentially religious activities of a secret activity,and the legality and moral rationality of the family church are further analyzed.Whether from a static or a dynamic point of view,the house church is still considered to be in an illegal status in the current legal framework of our country.At the same time,because of its weak moral rationality,it exists in the religious grey market and the edge of the law.Thirdly,by participating in observations,in-depth interviews,and other methods,we selected the development status of house churches in a central county as an example to conduct an empirical study,and sorted out the background of its production.By comparing them with the local Three-self Church,we described the composition of the people and their activities.,Outstanding features,hidden risks,and the shortcomings exposed by the grass-roots government departments in the management process.Finally,based on a comprehensive analysis of the social impact of house churches,and from the perspective of safeguarding social stability and strengthening government management,some propose solutions to governance Christian House Church are proposed.
