The Wisconsin Fellowship of Baptist Churches (WFBC) is an organization of fundamental independent Baptist churches in the U.S. state of Wisconsin.
This fellowship began in 1950 as the Conservative Baptist Association of Wisconsin. This association was sympathetic to, but not officially affiliated with, the Conservative Baptist Association of America, an association organized because of what many felt was growing liberalism in the old Northern Baptist Convention. At its annual meeting in 1969, the Conservative Baptist Association of Wisconsin changed its name to Wisconsin Fellowship of Baptist Churches. WFBC offices are located in Lebanon, Wisconsin.

“People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
The air is full of children, statues, roofs
And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
