The Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars (CBCNC) is a Christian denomination in north coastal Andhra Pradesh founded in 1874 which was ecclesiastically separated on linguistic basis from the Canadian Baptist Mission founded by Thomas Gabriel along with the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec. In the present scenario, the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars is only a namesake association which does not support any of the medical or theological institutions financially but only exercises 'leadership', this in spite of the growth of the Churches to a full level since Independence.
