Sovereign Grace Fellowship of Canada (SGF) is a fellowship for Reformed Baptist churches in Canada[1] holding to either the Baptist Confessions of 1644 or 1689.[2]

History

The Fellowship was founded in 1983 by William Payne, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Burlington, Ontario. [3]

In 2001, the Fellowship adopted a constitution.[4] As of 2012, there were 14 churches, including the Jarvis Street Baptist Church in Toronto.[5]

SGF publishes a magazine called Barnabas.[6] It is one of the Baptist groups associated with the Toronto Baptist Seminary and Bible College.[7]
