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.

We offer our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of the late Rev. Dr. H. Max DeWolfe, who died on September 8 at the age of 102. Max was an early and enthusiastic supporter of the ABF/CABF and one of the finest examples of a Minister of the Gospel of Christ. An obituary is available here.
Strategic Planning UpdateStrategic Planning Update: The CABF Council has been engaged in a planning process with the assistance of consultant, Wayne Marsh. In April there were a number of focus groups and Wayne shared his report on these discussions with Council on May 17. A brief presentation on the report was made on Saturday, June 2 following the Rushton Lecture and Luncheon. You can read the report here. The Council continued to work on the planning document throughout the summer and will be presenting the results at the Annual Meeting in Amherst at the end of September.

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!
