From Stockholm with love

Once again the annual Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference proved to be a venue for God's Spirit to work powerfully among the 120+ attendees who had gathered at Ekebyholm Castle outside Stockholm for 4-5 days of fellowship, edification, and worship from August 3rd-7th.



A colorful variety of guest teachers (including David Guzik, Pierre Petrignani, Matt Kottman, Mike Neglia, and Jeremy Foster) taught through First and Second Timothy, drawing relevant parallels from the ministry and life of Paul the Apostle's protogé to the lives of believers in Scandinavia anno 2011.



The teachings will be made available for free download soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we bring you the official video of the Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference 2011:

Secure your spot at the 2011 Conference

The registration for the Calvary Chapel Scandinavia Conference 2011 is now open. Sign up now for some unforgettable days at a castle outside Stockholm on August 3rd-7th.

Last year more than 140 people shared 4½ days of heart-warming, mind-blowing, soul-squeezing 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
For the last two years Ekebyholm Castle has hosted the CCS Conference, 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 two of the Apostle Paul's most powerful epistles; First and Second Timothy. The conference will also offer specific workshops on ministry, parenting, and other relevant topics. All teaching will be in English.

THE TEACHERS
So far the confirmed list of guest speakers include pastors David Guzik (CC Santa Barbara) and Kevin Fitzgerald (Crosspoint Dublin, Ireland). We expect to announce the names of the other guest speakers shortly. In addition to this, local ministry leaders from Scandinavia will teach a few sessions as well.
