International conferences for leaders and others in the Christian Brethren assemblies in the Caribbean were resumed at a conference in St Kitts in July 2014. The St Kitts conference agreed to establish a continuation committee under the chairmanship of Hadyn Marshall (St. Vincent and the Grenadines), with one representative from each Caribbean territory where there are Brethren assemblies. The purpose of the committee is to plan further conferences at four-yearly intervals and encourage continuing contact between Brethren movements in the different islands of the Caribbean.

The first Caribbean Conference (CBAC),  was held on 14 – 17 July, 2014, in St Kitts, under the theme of  “Strengthening the things that remain” as we forge forward using the old message’ Revelation 3: 2. The conference was attended by 145 people from 16 countries and the aim was 4 days of learning, inspiration, growing, and knowing fellow believers from the region and other countries.
