THE PLACE
For the fifth year in a row, Ekebyholm Castle will be the venue for the Calvary Chapel Scandinavia (CCS) Conference this year. Situated about 30 minutes' drive outside Stockholm. 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 lots of space for both indoor and outdoor activities.THE TEACHING
"To the Ends of the Earth" is the theme title for this year's teachings as a selection of experienced guest pastors and young local missionaries will teach through the second half of the Acts of the Apostles. 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 expect to welcome between 4 and 5 guest speakers to teach alongside local ministry leaders from Scandinavia throughout the conference. So far, the confirmed guest speakers are pastors David Guzik (CC Santa Barbara in California), Bil Gallatin (CC Finger Lakes in New York), Nate Holdridge (Calvary Monterey in California), and Stan Marinussen (CC Cross Culture in Amsterdam).

The official program will be announced soon. Until then, please note that the "Arrival and registration" takes place on Wednesday (July 31st) between 4pm and 7pm. The first worship and teaching sessions starts at 7:30pm.
