Baptists in Canada

Many of Alline's followers, after his death, would convert and strengthen the Baptist presence in the Atlantic region.

[5] The first congregations organized in Central Canada were at Beamsville, Ontario as early as 1776 and in 1794 at Caldwell's Manor (now Clarenceville, Quebec).

Churches which were in agreement began to group together into associations in order to work together for achieving common goals.

This withdrawal was due to the Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy, centred on a professor at the Convention's official seminary at McMaster University, who held a liberal/modernist position of theology.

The first SBC association was formed in 1955 and there are now 233 churches, in most provinces and territories, with the largest concentration in western Canada.

The regional conventions of the Canadian Baptist Ministries have participated in the founding of various universities which have gone public.

[13] Only Crandall University, founded in 1949, remained affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada.

[17] The Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada founded the Heritage College & Seminary in 1993 in Cambridge, Ontario.
