Katoomba Christian Convention

Katoomba Christian Convention (KCC) is an interdenominational ministry providing evangelical Bible preaching to Christians. Conventions are held in KCC's 2300 seat auditorium at Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains approximately 100 km west of the Central Business District of Sydney, Australia.

At present there are six conventions (many of them run over 2–3 identical weekends).

The site also hosts the annual CMS Summer School, organised by the Church Missionary Society which draws close to 3000 people a day during the first week of January.

Conventions
There are multiple conventions including Onward (High Schoolers, Young Adults and Adults), Oxygen (Christian Leaders), NextGen (Rising Youth and Children's Ministry Leaders), One Love (Women's Conference), Basecamp (Men's Conference), KYCK (high schoolers) and KEC (all ages).

Onward is a new conference across two days; its purpose is to directly address some of the pressing cultural issues facing Christians today.

Oxygen is an international gathering of Christian leaders for refreshment and encouragement.

NextGen equips youth, children's and potential "rising" ministry leaders for a lifetime of ministry. One Love is a one-day conference to inspire women through preaching, testimony and fellowship.

Basecamp was a rest stop for men to meet together to hear from God and renew their strength.

KYCK is a three-day convention for high schoolers to grow in their faith together. It runs across 3 days and is repeated over 3 massive weekends with around 2000 teenagers attending each weekend.

KEC (Katoomba Easter Convention) is a weekend of refreshment for the whole family. Includes children's programs.

It is currently directed by Jonathan Dykes.

History
The first Katoomba Christian Convention was held in 1903. A history of the ministry was published to coincide with its centenary under the title "A Century Preaching Christ".
