Abstract

Corruption is a phenomenon with serious consequences that affects all communities in the world. In Cameroon, its effects are widespread in all sectors. In both 1998 and 1999, Transparency International identified Cameroon as the globe’s leading corrupt nation. Corruption has cut across every sector of the country, and that is why this study was therefore carried out to determine the effects of corruption in the church. Survey data for this study were quantitatively analyzed by use of Semi-structured questionnaires, to test the statistical relationships using descriptive statistical methods and regression methods with the Structural Equation Model [CB-SEM], and with the aid of SPSS and AMOS 24 statistical packages. The study examined the causes of corruption in the church, the consequences of corruption on church growth, and the extent to which corruption can be curbed in the church. The respondents concurred that corruption was a serious issue and that its existence resulted from a lack of accountability, transparency, and awareness of its repercussions.
