Under the spiritual and administrative leadership of the Executive President, CBC continues its mission of proclaiming the Gospel holistically — through churches, hospitals, schools, radio stations, and community development programmes that touch every region of Cameroon.

Our leadership is committed to peace, wholistic development, transparency, and faithful stewardship of the resources God has entrusted to this Convention for over seven decades.
