History

The Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces was founded in 1846.[1] The Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada was formed in 1905-1906 as the United Baptist Convention of the Maritimes by a union of Free, or Free Will Baptists and Calvinistic or Regular Baptists.[2] 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 to Canada, the name was changed to the United Baptist Convention of the Atlantic Provinces in 1963.[3] Many of these churches still carry "United Baptist" in their official name. In 2001, the name was changed to the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches. In 2016, the name was changed to the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada.[4]

Since 1944 CBAC has been one of the partners in the Canadian Baptist Federation (now known as Canadian Baptist Ministries).[5]

Organization

According to a census published by the association in 2020, it had 450 churches and 21 associations across the Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia & Prince Edward Island).[6] The CBAC is subdivided into nine regions for local cooperation.

Beliefs

The association has a Baptist confession of faith.[7] The Union is a member of Canadian Baptist Ministries and Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.

Education

Stultz Hall, Crandall University in Moncton.

Crandall University is a partner of the Union.[8] It houses the Baptist Heritage Center whose 300 artifacts preserve the material history of Atlantic Baptists, the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, and its predecessor organizations. The collection and archives includes objects used in worship services, furniture, musical instruments, church building architecture pictures and printed material.[9]
