CABF Cross Canada Conference #4 Saskatoon, SK
You are warmly invited to October 25-28, 2026 to Saskatoon, Saskachewan!
Please join us!
This Year’s Theme:
Consider the Joy
We recognize that our conference location, Saskatoon, SK, is a place where re-conciliation work has been pursued with real intention: public art installations, sites of historical significance, renaming initiatives, and sites of unique Indigenous and non-Indigenous partnerships.
In our gathering, we will take time to hear from voices that will enlighten, empower, and encourage us in journeys of re-conciliation in our own contexts.
We will also attend to the joy that emerges with re-conciliation in its broader sense: the mending of our relationships with God, with one another, and with creation itself. As we are drawn back into right relationship, we are also sent outward, called to embody repair in ways that bring life and blessing to our neighbours, our communities, and all our relations.
Venue: First Baptist Church Co-Host: Emanuel Baptist Church

Pension and Benefits Packages for Pastors and Staff
CABF is actively investigating what options are available, and this document will be updated from time to time as more information becomes available.
CABF, with its totally voluntary leadership, is not in the position to become an agent or program manager or benefits coordinator for any of the available plans. We are, however, able to provide the following basic information that will assist Member Churches and Pastors to get in touch with providers of the benefit elements.
In response to questions being asked about pension and benefits packages for pastors and other church staff, chaplains, etc., the CABF Council is providing the following information, which it is hoped will be helpful to churches exploring their options.
Topics include:
1. Background
2 "Church" vs. "Organization"
3. Salary vs. Contract Service
4. Clergy Residence Deduction
5. Statutory Benefits, including Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, Statutory Holidays and Vacation.
6. Additional Benefits
7. Pension
8. Health Insurance, Short and Long Term Disability, Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Plans, etc.

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.
