Welcome to the Canadian Association for Baptist Freedoms!
We seek to be a safe and welcoming environment in which Baptists can share all concerns and points of view without fear of being marginalised.
The CABF is a Canada-wide fellowship composed of both individuals and Churches. Currently, our member Churches are located in Nova Scotia and Ontario, but we are open to receiving new members from any province or territory - click here for details.
The CABF Council has been engaged in a planning process with the assistance of consultant, Wayne Marsh. Last month there were a number of focus groups and Wayne shared his report on these discussions with Council on May 17. He will make a brief presentation on the report on Saturday, June 2 following the Rushton Lecture and Luncheon. You can read the report here.
Port Williams United Baptist Church will induct their new Minister, the Rev. Dr. Don Flowers, on Sunday, May 27 at 3pm. Everyone welcome!

Dues Are Due! CABF Individual Membership is on a calendar year basis, so dues were due as of the beginning of the year. To make things easier for us, our intrepid Treasurer, David Allen, has made arrangements for e-transfers directly to the CABF bank account. By using your own on-line banking e-transfer service to send your $20 to cabftreasurer@gmail.com you will save time, and a stamp!
