Membership
Individuals, churches, denominations and other Baptist affiliated organizations can all become members of the NABF.
The North American Baptist Fellowship (NABF) exists to promote fellowship and cooperation among Baptists in North America, particularly within the United States and Canada. The NABF serves as a unifying platform, bringing together Baptist denominational bodies, organizations, and individuals who share a common faith and mission. Through collaborative efforts, the NABF seeks to strengthen Baptist witness and work, both regionally and globally, while fostering a spirit of mutual support and engagement among its members.
As the North American regional body of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA), the NABF is committed to furthering the aims and objectives of the BWA, ensuring that these are effectively implemented to impact the life of Baptists across North America. Please note that a reference from NABF is also part of the BWA application process.
Membership in the NABF is open to any Baptist denominational body, organization, or individual in the United States or Canada.
