Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada

The Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces was founded in 1846. In 1905-06, the Convention (Regular Baptists) merged with the Free Christian Baptist Conference of New Brunswick and the Free Baptist Conference of Nova Scotia (Free Will Baptists) to become the United Baptist Convention of the Maritimes. The Regular Baptist and Free Will Baptist congregations wrote a statement of faith and polity called the "Basis of Union" with which both groups could agree. With the addition of Newfoundland and Labrador to Canada, the organization changed its name to the United Baptist Convention of the Atlantic Provinces in 1963. Since 1944, the CBAC has been a partner in Canadian Baptist Ministries. ==Organization==
