A message from the conference organizers regarding the decision to cancel the 2020 Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference in Sweden on July 22-26.
As conference organizers, we have been monitoring the outbreak of coronavirus (covid-19) for the past weeks and months and prayerfully considering the potential impact on our conference in July.
Until recently, it was our hope and prayer that the situation would be sufficiently resolved by the time people needed to travel to Vingåker, Sweden for the conference. However, the information at hand and the projections and guidelines by the governments in our part of the world have led us to taking the difficult decision to cancel this year's conference.
As organizers we do not feel able to vouch for conference participants' personal safety due to the ongoing threat which the virus poses in Scandinavia and in countries from which participants would travel to attend our conference, and consequently we cannot allow for 100+ people to gather in the confined spaces that our conference offers and depends on for fellowship.
We trust that this will not come as a big shock to most of the people who had signed up to attend, and we hope you will understand our decision.
As a result of our decision to cancel, we will automatically refund any attendance fees that have already been paid, including the registration fees paid when signing up.
Please join us in praying for the physical safety and health of local Calvary Chapel ministries across Scandinavia as their church congregations go through this difficult time.
We look forward to opening the registration early next year for the 2021 Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference, which will take place (Lord willing) on July 28th to August 1st 2021.

Sign up for 2020 Calvary Scandinavia conference
The Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference 2020 will take place on July 22nd-26th near the Swedish town of Vingåker, and registration for all available types of accommodation is now open. Sign up now or as soon as possible to secure your accommodation of choice.
Once again this summer, the regional Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference will see believers gathering from the Nordic region who share a passion for introducing as many people as possible in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway to a personal relationship with Jesus through compelling and thorough teaching of the Bible. Here are some important pieces of information about this year's conference - and how to sign up:
THE VENUE
For the fifth year in a row, the venue is a campsite called Hjälmargården not far from the Swedish town of Vingåker.
This venue has become an established 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 about the Life of Joseph from the book of Genesis. 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.

This year we welcome four guest speakers to teach alongside local ministry leaders from Scandinavia. These guest speakers are Doug Keen (Hastings, England), Kyle Eckhart (Szeged, Hungary), Carl Westerlund (Costa Mesa, California) and Mark Walsh (Aotearoa, New Zealand). The kids church will once again be taught and led by Kurt and Tiffany Ibbotson and their team of volunteers from Calvary Chapel Leipzig in Germany.
