The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
Isaiah 58:11
Join us for CBWOQ’s 2026 Gathering as we mark 150 years of women transforming the world as God’s Beloved and honour the legacy of the women of the church.
This celebratory weekend will be a time to connect, reflect, and be inspired through meaningful worship, uplifting conversations, and rich fellowship. Breakout sessions by leading Christian women will invite learning and dialogue rooted in faith and experience.
The weekend concludes with a Celebration Gala Dinner on Saturday evening, open to all, as we honour the past and look ahead to all that God is calling us to.
