About the author
The Free Christian Baptist General Conference of New Brunswick traces its origins to the Christian Conference of New Brunswick, founded in 1832. It became known as the Free Christian Baptist Conference of New Brunswick in 1847 and later adopted the name Free Baptist General Conference of New Brunswick in 1898.
The conference produced minutes, rules, handbooks, and statements of faith covering church organization, worship, ordination, marriage, funerals, benevolent societies, and district meetings. Publications associated with the body were issued in Saint John, New Brunswick, during the nineteenth century.
Today, its surviving records and printed works are valuable sources for understanding the development of Baptist communities and religious institutions in Atlantic Canada.
