“The Regional Board of Fellowship Pacific, acting in accordance with Bylaw 9 of our Society’s Bylaws, at their board meeting on December 3, 2025, passed the following motion: to call a special convention on Feb 7, 2026, calling for the removal of the following 8 churches from membership in Fellowship Pacific:
- Bethany Baptist Church – Barriere
- First Baptist Church – Kamloops
- New West Community Church
- Providence Baptist Church – Kelowna
- Renfrew Baptist Church – Vancouver
- Salt Spring Baptist Church
- Southside Baptist Church – Port Coquitlam
- Squamish Baptist Church
It is with sorrow that we write to inform you that a Special Convention will be convened fifty- three days from the date of this letter to consider the motion and will take place on February 7, 2026, at SouthRidge Fellowship in Langley at 1pm. Details regarding delegate registration will be available on Fellowship Pacific’s website beginning December 18. The package for the meeting will be sent out in early January 2026.”

“Following the Board’s follow up process, these churches engaged in actions that strained fellowship far beyond theological disagreement. They were signatories to a national letter that contained significant misrepresentations of events and leadership within Fellowship Pacific and helped launch a website that contained videos and articles that disparaged regional leaders and cast doubt on the integrity of the Region’s discernment and governance.
In addition, several leaders from churches in FEB Central sent a letter to our Regional Board urging us not to suspend or remove the churches involved, despite these matters being internal to Fellowship Pacific and clearly directed by the will of our own constituency. These leaders have not approached the Regional Board to seek clarity or understand the reasons for our decisions and may unfortunately be operating from a narrative shaped by misrepresentation rather than fact. While we value our partnership across Canada, churches in our Region should be aware that some of these groups may continue to organize and apply pressure on Fellowship Pacific churches regarding this issue. Such efforts, however well intended, risk undermining local church autonomy, regional governance, and the clear decisions already made by the churches of Fellowship Pacific. Our commitment remains to follow the direction of our own constituency and the policies that guide our Region.”
