PCC Service heads at strategic planning workshop

The Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC) has ushered in a new era with the election of a new leadership the Rt Rev. Miki Hans Abia, the 7th Moderator and the Synod Clerk, the Rev. Ayuk Solomon Eta
In line with his policy to revamp and strengthen management of all operations within the PCC, a series of strategic operations management workshop has been taking place at the Synod office in Buea to edify and abreast church leaders on the way forward.
According to a release from the Synod office,the Moderator of the PCC, the Rt. Rev. Miki Hans Abia opened another successive Strategic Operations Management Workshop this time for Presbyteries and Departments at the PRESFLATS hall – Synod Office Buea on Friday 28th February 2025.
The Moderator in his keynote address revealed the theme of the new mandate as, “Together, Let us Strengthen the Church and Edify ourselves.”
He stressed on stakeholders and key players to strengthen our enterprise, strengthening our possessions or inheritances, our work culture, everything matters, even little things matter, edifying ourselves, edifying your institution.
The Moderator concluded with the wise words saying, “People make institutions great and institutions make people great as well. Those who own the institution can never be great if they do not make the institution great. “Many of our leaders and even workers are fast becoming like ‘the Governor who entered a rich country as a poor man and leaves a poor country as a rich man,” he said.
“We will not entertain those who instead of strengthening our achievements and what we have are instead weakening them. There must therefore be in a symbiotic or mutual relationship between the workers of an institution and that institution,” he added.
It is this kind of symbiotic or mutual relationship that we must together strengthen and edify to secure our inheritance. We can only do so by developing a productive work culture, giving importance to everything that has to do with our institutions and by extension, the entire Church. It is my conviction that we will make a strong Church with improved facilities across the board, and this conviction is premised on what the Apostle Paul says, “I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:13 NKJV). Therefore, Together, Let us Strengthen and Edify Ourselves and our Church!”
The meditation of the day was led by the Presbyterial Secretary for Fako North Presbytery, the Rev. Foncham Ezekiel Fonmuna.
The workshop modules discussed were:
- Know Your Church (KYC) by the Synod Clerk, the Rev. Ayuk Solomon Eta
- Customer Service by Tesho Foundation
- Corporate Communication by the National Communication Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Perpetua Fonki.
- Key performance indicators/Limiting factors by the Financial Secretary, Mr. Ngole Ndive Mbuayo Mosuka.
The workshop brought together Heads of Departments and Movements, Presbyterial Secretaries and Treasurers.
It should be recalled that the election of the new Moderator alongside Reverend Ayuk Solomon Eta as Synod Clerk, took place on Monday, 19 November 2024, at the PCC Synod Office in Buea, marking the conclusion of the 2024 Synod of Assurance.
A New Era of Leadership
As the new Moderator, Rt. Rev. Miki Hans Abia is also serving as the Chancellor of the Cameroon Christian University Institute (CCUI). His leadership will focus on furthering the church’s educational, health, and community development efforts across Cameroon. The PCC, with over 2 million members and 27 presbyteries, is a central institution in the country, deeply involved in the provision of healthcare, education, and peace building.
Rev. Abia’s election at the helm of the PCC is particularly significant as it coincides with a period of ongoing challenges in Cameroon, particularly the Anglophone crisis.
As Synod Clerk, Abia played a pivotal role in the church’s efforts to promote peace and reconciliation in the troubled regions of the country. His leadership is expected to further strengthen the church’s initiatives in these areas, working closely with government officials, international partners, and other religious leaders.
Looking Ahead
PCC Christians see a new hope in rebuilding and solidifying the foundation of the church with the elections of Rev. Miki Hans Abia’s as Moderator. A meek, humble and morally upright servant of God, the Christians attest, his election is a testament to his dedication to the church’s mission and his strong foundation in its work.
Under his leadership, the church is expected to continue its commitment to peace, education, and healthcare across Cameroon, while also building on its existing role as a powerful voice for reconciliation in the country.
His leadership promises to bring positive change to the lives of many PCC Christians in particular and Cameroon in general as they look forward to witnessing the impact this applauded leadership change will have in the years ahead.
