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.

Special Project to Update the CABF Governance Structure
There has been a rapid expansion of the CABF in recent years, both with respect to the number and geographic distribution of individual members and member churches and the increase in the number of activities, such as the Cross Canada Conferences and contacts with other like-minded organizations within Canada and internationally. The time has come to review the Association's governance structure, including the amended By-Law #2 and the Policy and Procedures Manual, to identify places where these documents can be updated and meet evolving needs.
At its November 13, 2024 meeting, Council unanimously approved the following motion: "That the Constitution and Governance Committee be given a mandate to do a thorough review of the needs of the CABF organization with regard to structure and governance and any necessary changes to the By-Laws, to position us to move forward as a national organization."
This project has made significant progress and more work is underway. For more detail on this project--what has been accomplished and areas of further discussion, please go to Canadian Association for Baptist Freedoms - Constitution and Policies and scroll down the page.
