Becoming a Member of the SGF

Any church who subscribes to the doctrinal position (being committed to the Baptist Confessions of either 1644 or 1689) and the constitution of the SGF, and who signifies in writing its desire to be affiliated with the SGF, will be received into membership of the SGF upon a three-quarters majority vote of the appointed delegates of the SGF, usually at the Annual General Assembly in November.

Those churches that are part of the SGF are expected to uphold the Baptistic distinctives of the SGF, and to contribute to the fellowship financially. The level of financial contribution is targeted at 2% of church revenues. A proposed budget of income and expenditures will be presented for approval at the Assembly.

A church may withdraw from the SGF at any time and for any reason sufficient to itself.

For more details please refer to the SGF Constitution Section IV, or contact the Administrative Co-ordinator at coordinator@sgfcanada.com.
