Sovereign Grace Fellowship of Canada (SGF) is a fellowship for Reformed Baptist churches in Canada holding to either the Baptist Confession of 1644 or 1689.
SGF claims to be baptistic, evangelistic, and holding to the doctrine of sovereign grace. The purpose of the SGF is to promote cooperation between member churches, especially in the areas of world missions, church planting, evangelization, & education, and to assist churches in maintaining "sound doctrine." At the time of its founding in 2001, the Sovereign Grace Fellowship had 10 member churches, located in New Brunswick and Ontario. As of 2012, there were 14 churches, including the Jarvis Street Baptist Church in Toronto.
SGF publishes a magazine called Barnabas. It is one of the Baptist groups associated with the Toronto Baptist Seminary and Bible College.
