Chinese Baptist Convention

The Chinese Baptist Convention (CBC; Chinese: 中華基督教浸信會聯會; pinyin: zhōnghuá jīdū jiào jìnxìn huì liánhuì; Wade–Giles: chung hua chi tu chiao chin hsin hui lien hui) is a Baptist Christian denomination in Taiwan and the territories administered by the Republic of China.

In October 1936, a resolution was passed during the centenary celebrations of the Baptist mission in China to engage in the extension of work to the frontier regions, which then included Taiwan which was a part of Japan.

In 1948, Yang Mei Chai (楊美齋) from the National Baptist Convention of China was sent to Taiwan to establish a frontier mission in June of the same year.

Bertha Smith of the American International Mission Board in Shantung arrived in Taiwan on October 19, 1948 and the first church was inaugurated on December 26 of the same year.

This led to the rapid growth of the church particularly in the Mandarin language ministry with significant support from the International Mission Board in the United States.
