Spirit Church (灵灵教 Linglingjiao) is a new religious movement from China. It was founded in the 1980s, in Jiangsu by Hua Xuehe (华雪和).[1] It has Pentecostal features and was possibly a break-away group from the Chinese Pentecostal group, the True Jesus Church.[2] Its areas of presence include Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Henan and Shandong.[1]

Spirit Church is illegal in China and labelled heretical.[3][4]
