The Purpose of CBCO

and to be the Salt and the Light of the Earth (Matt. 5:13) we, citizens of South Africa felt
constrained to build a powerful base of Churches as an Organisation helping its member
churches to:

- identify issues in local communities that cause God’s creation (within their influence) to
be corrupted and/or destroyed;
- organise these faith communities so that they may be empowered to effectively
address/deal with the above-mentioned issues.
