Sharpen Your Pencils

Our theme for Assembly 2025 is “Sharpen Your Pencils.” In a world where, like Habakkuk, we may look around us and feel the pressures of the culture that surrounds us, we are called to sharpen our focus, prepare our hearts, and eagerly receive the direction and vision that God has for us, both as individuals and as a Baptist family. Just as a pencil must be sharpened, we, too, are invited to pause, reflect, and ready ourselves to listen closely to God’s calling. This theme aligns perfectly with our Assembly’s location at Brock University in St. Catharines, a place of growth, learning, and renewal. Brock’s vibrant, tranquil campus is in the heart of the Niagara region and its beautiful campus provides the ideal place for us to gather,  recharge, reflect, and deepen our connection to the work God is doing in CBOQ. As we gather here, we are reminded to sharpen our spiritual focus, listen for God’s vision, and steps forward together with excitement and anticipation. Join us at Brock University as we prepare to “sharpen our pencils” and respond to God’s calling!

What is CBOQ Assembly?

Assembly is an annual gathering of CBOQ’s family of churches. Part annual general meeting, part conference, and part family reunion, Assembly aims to provide a nurturing environment that fosters spiritual growth, encourages dynamic collaboration, and celebrates the unity that binds our family of churches.

Assembly is a dynamic and evolving event that adapts to the changing needs of our attendees while remaining grounded in the core principles of faith, community, and service. During Assembly, we gather, worship together, pray for one another, make decisions together, and grow as a family of churches. We hear from engaging speakers, thoughtful and talented worship leaders, and delegates from our churches.
