Sign up for 2019 Scandinavian conference

The Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference 2019 will take place on July 24th-28th near the Swedish town of Vingåker, and registration for all available types of accommodation is now open. Sign up now to secure your accommodation of choice.

For the 21st consecute year, the regional Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference will take place this summer, gathering believers from the Nordic region who share a passion for seeing Jesus and the Scriptures spread to as many people as possible in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. Here are some important pieces of information about this year's conference - and how to sign up:

THE VENUE
For the fourth year in a row, the venue is a campsite called Hjälmargården not far from the Swedish town of Vingåker.

This venue has become a new favorite among many of our Scandinavian conference goers, with its lakeside location and offers of outdoor space for activities, incl. canoeing, ball games, miniature golf, playgrounds for kids, etc.

THE TEACHING
A line-up of invited guest pastors and local speakers will teach through the First Epistles of Peter. The conference will also offer specific workshops on topics that are highly relevant to our daily lives as Christians. All teaching will be in English.

THE TEACHERS
This year we welcome three guest speakers to teach alongside local ministry leaders from Scandinavia. These guest speakers are David Guzik (Santa Barbara, California), Jeremy Foster (Ozarks, Arkansas) and Doug Keen (Hastings, England). Mark Walsh will also return to lead worship at this year’s conference.

THE TIMING
Please note that the "Arrival and registration" takes place on Wednesday (July 24th) between 4pm and 7pm. The first worship and teaching session starts at 7:30pm.
