The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon has officially Inaugurated a building that will house some structures of the church.

The new building located at Prisons Junction in Buea will host the Presmicrofinance, Presinsurance and CEDAR-COM.

Presmicrofinance will operate as a regular microfinance institution in Cameroon. According to the Moderator, its focus is to do the banking business with the touch of God.

For Presinsurance, Rev Fonki remarked that; "We will insure because we are insured through Christ Jesus." Presinsurance will be involved in insuring the risk of the members of the society.

For CEDAR-COM, it is the Community Empowerment, Development and Rehabilitation Commission. It's role is the to carryout the humanitarian functions of the church. Here, the moderator was categorical that it will house a project writing unit that can source funds from other partners of the church.

While commissioning the building, Sunday 17th November 2024, Rt Rev Fonki Samuel Forba said projects like this are exactly what the church needs to fund its other activities.

To Rev Fonki, the church can continue to run when such businesses are operational, even in the face of adversity like that which struck the PCC in 2016 with the Anglophone crisis and 2019 with the Corona virus.

More importantly, the prelate said that they will fund development projects across the PCC like the construction of houses for Pastors and other projects which hitherto were funded directly by Christians.

"These projects will greatly help the Synod of the Church to take it's rightful place as the decision making body of the church not some individuals who think they can contribute their money and decide for the church." The Moderator said.

The building that was inaugurated in the presence of Heads of the Presbyterian Church in Nigeria and Ugandan, the Secretary General of the South West Governor's office, the MP for Buea Urban Constituency was constructed for a period of seven months, is a three floor storey building.

The inauguration, Sunday 17th November, comes on the day the Synod of the PCC started meeting in Buea.

At the close of the Synod meeting on Monday 18th November, a new moderator and synod clerk will be elected to pilot the affairs of the Church for the next five years.
