EBF Council
We gather to discern together, support one another and dream new dreams
UPCOMING
Council 2026
Save the dates - 23-26 September 2026 in Albania!
Council 2026 gathers the European Baptist Federation family in Durrës, Albania, on the beautiful coast of the Adriatic Sea.
This year, we will focus on our engagement in the ACTS 2 Movement launched by the Baptist World Alliance, exploring together the five pathways and discerning how we can join in with what the Spirit of God is doing across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
Through worship, Bible teaching, plenary sessions, seminars, fellowship, and conversations, Council 2026 will offer space to strengthen partnerships, encourage one another, and deepen our shared mission as Baptists together.
As the EBF Council is a representative gathering of the EBF community, participation and registration are coordinated through EBF member unions, commissions, committees, partners, and invited guests. Registration links have been sent directly to eligible participants.

The EBF Council which meets annually in September is the main decision-making body for the EBF. The Council is made up of representatives of the Unions, IBTS Centre, members, and partner mission organisations.
It usually numbers between 120-130 delegates and its meetings are also a time for worship, inspiration and informal sharing and renewing of friendship between members.
