Strategies for Church Growth in the Cameroon Baptist Convention

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Johannesburg South African Theological Seminary 2021Description: 165 PDF A4 Abstract, TOCSubject(s): Dissertation note: Master of Theology (Mth) South African Theological Seminary 2021 Summary: This research concentrates on the CBC churches among the Bakossi people of the South West Region of Cameroon. These churches do not increase in church membership despite the fact that the Baptists in general and the CBC churches, in particular, have existed among the Bakossi people of the South West Region for as long as 50 years or more. Thus, this thesis seeks to develop effective strategies that will promote church growth in CBC churches amongst the Bakossi people. The researcher did an empirical study by distributing questionnaires to twelve Baptist churches and seven to other denominations all of which he received responses. The data collected was analyzed and interpreted. The outcome of the data reveals that not only have Baptist churches failed to grow numerically throughout the over fifty years of their existence in the land but also that they did not have any intentional plans and strategies to do so. Proof of this is the fact that over ninety-nine percent of the members that make up these churches are non-indigenes who originate from other parts of the country. Therefore, through various resources, the researcher carried out a historical, theological, and biblical framework that formed the basis to develop strategies that will enhance effective church growth in CBC churches among the people. The researcher contends that the topic itself, proposed strategies, recommendations, and action plans must be embraced and implemented by individual Baptist churches, probably facilitated by the Cameroon Baptist Convention, if any meaningful growth has to take place in CBC churches among the Bakossi people.
