PRESENT MINISTRIES
The Free Methodist Church in Cameroon carries a God-given vision: to reach all of Cameroon with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ within the next five years. By God’s grace, this vision is already becoming reality. In 2023, church leadership launched a Bible Training Program that has proven highly impactful. In 2025, they strengthened church-planting training, resulting in the planting of three new churches and the establishment of more than 15 house fellowships. New ministry work has also begun in northern Cameroon, particularly in Garoua, with additional opportunities continuing to open in this region. The FMC in Cameroon is grateful for friends, partners and prayer warrior as they advance God’s kingdom through church planting, tradership development and community transformation, laying a solid foundation for generations to come.

ORIGINS
Free Methodist work in Cameroon was started just before 1990 through an affiliation of several churches in the southwest part of the country. FMCUSA has partnered through the years with the Cameroon church in pastoral training, outreach to children, women’s ministries and some vocational training.
