The Cambodia Baptist Union (CBU, also known as the Cambodian Baptist Convention [1]) is a national cooperative association of Baptist churches in Cambodia. Although Baptist missions have been noted in Cambodia since at least 1953,[2] due to the turbulent contemporary history of Cambodia, the CBU was only organized in 1995 as the Khmer Baptist Convention.[3]

In 1994, the Baptists co-founded the Evangelical Fellowship of Cambodia (EFC) and in 1997, a Baptist Federation was created uniting churches that were planted by Southern Baptists and independent Baptists [4] and co-founded the Kampuchea Christian Council in August 1998.[5]
