The same year, both Falmouth and Newport formed churches with his assistance, were anti-Calvinist in nature and generally rejected, traditional Congregationalism. By 1777, Alline finally broke from his parents to pursue his evangelical ministry on a full-time basis. In 1778 the Horton and Cornwallis Townships sought his assistance to establish a Baptist church, which became the first Baptist Church in Canada. The following year, the church, along with the Falmouth and Newport New Light churches, ordained him. That act removed one of Alline's perceived impediments to his right to preach. Despite Alline's assistance in establishing the Horton/Cornwallis Baptist Church, a dispute concerning the proper mode of baptism denied him the fellowship.
