Spring Assembly is CBF-LA’s
major annual gathering. Spring Assembly is a time of renewal and recharging
of batteries, re-connecting with friends, and meeting new sisters and brothers.
Worship, food, sharing ideas, laughter and concern—together we come as co-laborers,
discovering again “the reason for the hope that is within.”
CBF-LA Spring Assembly 2008 was held April 4-5 at Pineville Park Baptist Church in Pineville.

The Stagg-Tolbert Forum for Biblical Studies is an annual event of
CBF-LA designed to make excellence in biblical scholarship accessible to the lay person. Named in honor of two renowned Louisiana
Baptist biblical scholars, Dr. Frank Stagg and Dr. Malcolm Tolbert, the Forum is held in October. Dr. Tolbert was the featured
speaker at the inaugural meeting in 2004. Fisher H. Humphries followed in 2005, Al Staggs in 2006, and Bill Coates for 2007.
 
The next Stagg-Tolbert Forum will feature Walter Shurden and will be held October 18, 2008 at First Baptist Church of Shreveport.
