Presbyterian Church in Cameroon

[2] In addition to its religious activities, the PCC contributes to provision of health and education services in the country.

The church was established by the Basel Mission, which started to operate in the country in 1886, taking over from English Baptists, after that Cameroon had come under the protection of Germany.

Stations were opened in Elat, Lolodorf, Metet, Foulassi, Yaoundé, Bafia, Abong Mbang, Batouri and Momjepom.

The Second World War again disrupted church life, which was however followed by a period of intense activity and growth.

PCC is the biggest English-speaking Church in Cameroon, with its headquarters in Buea.

It also runs two major church centers in the country, in Bamenda and Kumba with a third soon to be in Douala.

The PCC has joined other Protestant churches in Cameroon to address common issues of an educational, social, political as well as spiritual nature.

It supports and promotes the information and eradication of HIV/AIDS and has a very strong policy statement on the issue.

The church runs one of the biggest printing presses in the country, has bookshops as one of its evangelical tools and also hostels to help students provide lower rates in university towns.
