Katoomba Christian Convention


Katoomba Christian Convention is an interdenominational ministry providing evangelical Bible preaching to Christians.
Conventions are held in KCC's 2300 seat auditorium at Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains approximately west of the Central Business District of Sydney, Australia.
At present there are six conventions.
The site also hosts the annual CMS Summer School, organised by the Church Missionary Society which draws close to 3000 people a day during the first week of January.

Conventions

There are multiple conventions including Onward, Oxygen, NextGen, One Love, Basecamp, KYCK and KEC.
Onward is a new conference across two days; its purpose is to directly address some of the pressing cultural issues facing Christians today.
Oxygen is an international gathering of Christian leaders for refreshment and encouragement.
NextGen equips youth, children's and potential "rising" ministry leaders for a lifetime of ministry.
One Love is a one-day conference to inspire women through preaching, testimony and fellowship.
Basecamp was a rest stop for men to meet together to hear from God and renew their strength.
KYCK is a three-day convention for high schoolers to grow in their faith together. It runs across 3 days and is repeated over 3 massive weekends with around 2000 teenagers attending each weekend.
KEC is a weekend of refreshment for the whole family. Includes children's programs.
It is currently directed by Jonathan Dykes.

List of previous conventions

Previous conventions have included City Youth Convention, KYC express, October Katoomba Convention and Katoomba Convention Plus. KCC was the organisation behind the sell out event at the Sydney Entertainment Centre—Burn Your Plastic Jesus and has organised Pastor's Convention with Matt Chandler.
In 2011 KCC ran one of the biggest conventions for Christian leaders ever held in Sydney, Oxygen. Leaders were refreshed in their ministry by the preaching of John Piper & John Lennox. Oxygen was followed by One, a sell-out event at the Sydney Entertainment Centre where John Piper and John Lennox preached to nearly 10,000 people.
