ARBCWC - Pastors' Updates April 2025
Pastors and church leaders from Reformed Baptist congregations across Western Canada and beyond gather to report on the state of their churches and give thanks to God for his faithfulness. The reports span church plants in Regina, Medicine Hat, Armstrong, Weyburn, Lethbridge, Moose Mountain, Dryden (Ontario), and Tama (Iowa), with recurring themes of slow but steady growth, the challenges of introducing confessional Reformed Baptist practice in broadly evangelical contexts, the encouragement of associational fellowship, and shared prayer for gospel advance, church planting, and the conversion of souls.
CTF - Promoting Unity Among Reformed Churches
This conference Q&A exchange addresses how a Confession of Faith Conference can foster unity among Reformed and Presbyterian churches by drawing attention to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith as a historic confessional document standing in deliberate continuity with the Westminster Confession, the Savoy Declaration, and the Three Forms of Unity. The speakers note that the 1689 Confession was written not to introduce novelty but to demonstrate solidarity with broader Reformed orthodoxy, as its own preface states: 'we have no itch to clog religion with new words.' The discussion concludes that the Reformed churches share an overwhelming doctrinal heritage, and that remaining differences — including baptism — should not prevent mutual recognition and brotherly regard among confessional Christians.
