New Horizons Baptist Church (named Cornwallis Street Baptist Church until 2018) is a Baptist church in Halifax, Nova Scotia that was established by Black Refugees in 1832. When the chapel was completed, black citizens of Halifax were reported to be proud because it was evidence that former slaves could establish their own institutions in Nova Scotia.[1] Under the direction of Richard Preston, the church laid the foundation for social action to address the plight of Black Nova Scotians.[2][3] It is affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (Canadian Baptist Ministries).
