Answering a question raised by Baroness Berridge, Lord Bourne - who oversees issues of faith for the government said hate crime in any community is unacceptable.
Baroness Berridge asked the government whether there was a case for a Christian hate crimes unit to go with the Jewish and Muslim hate crimes units in the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Lord Bourne said it has no specific units in the department but it instead supported working groups to bring members of different communities in to discuss how to solve the problem.
He said: "DCLG supports the police website 'True Vision' and, in January 2017, the Communities Secretary announced £25,000 extra funding for True Vision to work with Christian Groups, including Churchwatch.
"The project will assess the nature and extent of anti-Christian hate crime, reassure affected Christians and raise awareness of reporting mechanisms for hate crime. The findings of the research will help inform our future activity to challenge hate crime, which is unacceptable in any community."
Speaking last month on the issue of hate crime, Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said: "These funds build upon what government is already doing through the Hate Crime Action Plan to challenge the misperceptions that lead to hate crime and support victims from marginalised communities to stand up and report incidents."
