Let the registration begin...



As of today you can sign up for the 2010 Calvary Chapel Scandinavia Conference which takes place outside Stockholm, Sweden on August 4th-8th. Here's how and why to sign up.

Last year more than 125 people shared 4½ warm summer days of rich fellowship around God's Word at an old castle outside Sweden's capitol. This year the stage is set for another edifying gathering in the same scenic surroundings.

THE PLACE
Ekebyholm Castle hosted the CCS Conference for the first time last year, much to everyone's enjoyment. Situated about 30 minutes outside Stockholm (by car or public busses). The location is a former royal castle from the 1700's, which today is used as a boarding school. Outdoor facilities include a large playground, two beach volleyball courts, a football pitch, and generally lots of space for both indoor and outdoor activities.

THE TEACHING
Throughout the course of the conference's 11 main sessions, a mix of experienced guest pastors and young local missionaries will teach through one of the most revolutionary and powerful sermons ever preached, Jesus Christ's "Sermon on the Mount". The conference will also offer specific workshops on topics such as ministry, marriage, and singleness. All teaching will be in English.

THE TEACHERS
So far the confirmed list of guest speakers include pastors David Guzik (CCBC Siegen, Germany), Brian Brodersen (CC Costa Mesa, CA), Nick Long (CC Siegen, Germany), and Kevin Fitzgerald (Crosspoint Dublin, Ireland). In addition to this, local ministry leaders from Scandinavia will teach a few sessions as well.

THE TIMING:
The official program will be announced shortly. Until then, please note that the "Arrival and registration" takes place on Wednesday (Aug. 4th) between 4pm and 7pm. The first worship and teaching sessions starts at 7:30pm.

IMPORTANT: Please note that due to people's differing arrival times, the Wednesday evening dinner is NOT included in the attendance prices listed below. However, if you would like to have a light dinner on Wednesday evening, you must let us know when filling out the registration form. It will be served at 6pm and costs an extra 40 SEK pr. person.

THE SLEEPING FACILITIES
When you sign up, you can choose between three different types of accommodation which all vary in price (see below): Private bedroom, Gender-divided dorms in classrooms (mattresses will be provided), or space for self-brought tent.

IMPORTANT: Please note that bedrooms will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis, however married couples, families with children, and elderly attendees will be prioritized in case of simultaneous overbooking.

ATTENDANCE PRICES
This year, the price for your attendance will depend on what type of accommodation you choose. See all prices below. The price covers your accommodation, your use of the castle facilities (such as restrooms, showers, sports facilities, etc), and all meals throughout the entire conference (meals include breakfast, lunch, dinner and various servings of refreshments in the afternoon and evenings).
