This summer's Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference will take place on August 2nd-6th 2023 near the Swedish town of Vingåker, and registration for all available types of accommodation are now open. Here is what you need to know before you sign up.

The Scandinavian conference will take place at the campsite called Hjälmargården not far from the Swedish town of Vingåker. This venue is known and liked by many of our Scandinavian conference-goers for 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 Epistle of John.

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 our guest speaker list will once again include pastors David Guzik (Santa Barbara, California) and Mark Walsh (Otley, England), who will be joined by other yet unconfirmed guest pastors plus local speakers and ministry leaders.

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.
