In 2016, there were 6717 members and 12,130 adherents in 108 churches. The BGCC operates a number of ministries, including the Canadian Baptist Seminary, Global Missions and Stewardship Foundation, and is affiliated with the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. Delegates are sent from their local church and conduct the business of the Conference. The Conference holds an annual meeting, held at various locations around Canada. In 2016, Kevin Schular was appointed to a five-year term as executive director.
The executive director oversees the Canadian office, gives missional alignment to the various national ministries and provides visionary leadership to move the Conference forward. The Conference is led by a Board composed of members from BGC churches from the districts. The districts cooperate through the General Conference and the national office is located in Edmonton, Alberta. The BGC churches in Canada are organized into four district conferences ( BGC Alberta, BGC Central Canada, BGC Saskatchewan, and British Columbia Baptist Conference) and another region known as Eastern Expansion which includes churches in Quebec, Nova Scotia and southern Ontario. In addition to paper tracks for the general conference under the conference theme, and the parallel specialty conferences listed below, the program will also feature. At the second meeting of the representatives, a recommendation came to organize a General Conference. The technical program for the 2022 Conference will build on the CSCE’s strategic directions under the theme Engineering, Community, Connections. Beginning in 1977, the three districts then in existence - Baptist General Conference in Alberta, British Columbia Baptist Conference and Central Canada Baptist Conference - started exploring the possibilities of working together to evangelize Canada and the world. The BGCC churches were affiliated with the Baptist General Conference in the United States until 1981. The Central Canada Baptist Conference and the Baptist General Conference in Alberta withdrew from the BUWC in 19, respectively. Though organized into regional conferences, these churches were also affiliated with the Baptist Union of Western Canada (BUWC) for the first half of the 20th century. The Grant Memorial Baptist Church in Winnipeg is the oldest surviving Canadian BGC church. A church was formed in Quebec in 1892 and another in Winnipeg in 1894. The BGCC was formed in 1981, but has roots in Swedish Baptist missionary work in Winnipeg and Quebec. From its beginning among Scandinavian immigrants, the BGCC has grown to a network of autonomous churches from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia. Baptist General Conference of Canada (BGCC) is a national body of evangelical Baptist churches introduced to Canada by Swedish Baptists that emerged in Radical Pietism late in the 19th century.
