East London | 1-5 October
It’s time to make our way back to the beautiful Eastern Cape, as ‘Border’ plays host to the National Assembly of 2023. Once more, this will be an in-person Assembly with an online option.
Be sure to join the Baptist Union Whatsapp Broadcast group to be notified.
This year’s assembly will be hosted at Laërskool Grens, in East London. The festivities will kick off on Sunday, 1 October with a banquet dinner, followed by a day of ministry to pastors on Monday the 2nd of October. Assembly delegates who are not pastors of the Baptist Union are encouraged to enjoy what East London has to offer. The ‘business’ of the Assembly will commence on Monday evening and run to Thursday morning, 5th of October. This will be our third year hosting a hybrid assembly, giving Baptist pastors the opportunity to meet in the room, or from your own home/church.
Please be aware that accommodation is in the Grens hostel, and couples will not be able to be accommodated together. Ladies will be in one dorm, and gents in another. Therefore, should you wish to stay with your spouse, you will need to arrange your own accommodation at a nearby AirBNB / BnB / Hotel
