Summary/Abstract: This article shows the impact of the Cameroon Presbyterian Church, effectively, its work over the time had influenced the relationships between local populations on one part and how it modified these relationships with the help of Christian on the other part. It was around the management of the theological inheritance which had become very tough, in missionaries and socio-educational that tensions between the members of the church began. Thus, disagreement of ideas and opinions between pastors reached its speak in 1967 resulting in the Cameroon Presbyterian Church (CPC) schism on whether to join the ecumenical board of Churches or not, opinions between pastors and laics of the church split into antagonist groups. This conflict finally came to an end with the creation of the dissidents of the CPC Anti-ecumenical. This is where lays the question of Presbyterian doctrine, where pastors and laics bumped into a fight of leadership.
