The Baptist Church in the Centre of Africa, CBCA in acronym, is a Church born from the work of the Unevangelized Africa Mission (UAM) which arrived in Kivu in 1927.

In 1959 today's CBCA was founded following disputes of wether or not the church should educate Congolese youth. Congolese Christians claimed they should get education, the mission denied this claim, which in the end led to the founding of CBCA as a Congolese Church. It was endowed with its civil personality on 12.06.1964 by presidential order. In the beginning its name was "Baptist-Protestant Church in Kivu". As a result of the extension of the church in and out of the country, the Church name changed into "Baptist Church in Central Africa, in French: Communauté Baptiste au Centre de l'Afrique (CBCA).

The Church has 500000 Members, 600 Pastors, 700 Congregations, 43 staff working in central church administration and 62 evangelists.
