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, we have 17 member Churches located in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.  We have individual members from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. We are open to receiving both new individual and church members from any province or territory - click here for details. 

Our Vision: Baptists freely seeking, living, sharing and celebrating justice, peace and love under the lordship of Christ.

Our Mission: We encourage and support churches, pastors, and other individuals to understand and affirm Baptist freedoms as they express their faith.

CABF's 2025 Cross Canada Conference
October 26-29, Vancouver, BC

This year, the lectionary is based on the gospel of Luke, a gospel that articulates God’s compassion and care for those on the fringes of power—women, the poor, the stranger, religious and ethnic minorities. In an age of rising hostility towards the “other” and disregard for the poor, how important it is to remember the way Christ drew near to all people! 

As we, friends and members of the CABF, draw near to each other, may we reorient ourselves to Divine Love, strengthening our love and commitment to soul liberty, to one another, to all God’s children, and to God’s good earth.

Notice

Some time ago an unscrupulous person searched our website and found records of the Nominating Committee reports from former Annual General Meetings.  These contained personal information such as phone numbers and email addresses that were intended for Council use only.  This information has been used to send spam messages to Council and Committee members appearing to ask for the purchase of gift cards or similar scams or requesting urgent communication.

Please do NOT RESPOND to these requests as they are NOT from CABF, its Council or Committees. If in doubt, please contact the Council or Committee Member by phone or by new email to the email address you will have for them from previous communications to confirm that the message was from them.

The former postings containing personal information have been taken down and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused.

Telling the Story of the CABF
