Our Leadership

First Baptist Edmonton uses a congregational form of governance, in which members are the main visionaries and decision-makers. A Council is elected from the membership to provide leadership, coordinate ministry efforts, and work towards the sustainability of the church.

Council

Council meets once a month, and provides ongoing information to the congregation on activities and issues. Congregational meetings are scheduled regularly throughout the year, Semi-Annual Meeting in the Fall, and an Annual General Meeting in the Spring.

Please contact us for council email addresses.
