The Cambodia Baptist Union (CBU, also known as the Cambodian Baptist Convention) is a Baptist Christian association of churches in Cambodia. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia, Kampuchea Christian Council, and the Baptist World Alliance.
History
Although Baptist missions have been noted in Cambodia since at least 1953,[1] due to the turbulent contemporary history of Cambodia, the CBU was only organized in 1995 as the Khmer Baptist Convention.[2]
According to a census published by the association in 2023, it claimed 22,531 members and 527 churches. [3]
