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, including the adoption of a Special Resolution at a Meeting of Members on June 7, 2025 to replace the former By-Law #2 with an updated By-Law #3.  For more detail on this project, please go to Canadian Association for Baptist Freedoms - Constitution and Policies and scroll down the page to "Background to the Special Project to Update the CABF Governance Structure, including Development of By-Law #3 and Updating the Council and Committee Structure."
