About KEC
Katoomba Easter Convention is an annual retreat for all ages to spend Easter sitting under God’s Word and growing in your faith together.
Enjoy mornings being refreshed with Bible talks, Christian testimonies and worship. Spend afternoons relaxing with friends and family before settling in for more in the evening sessions together. Bring friends, family, children and grandchildren – we have specific programs for everyone from toddlers all the way up to adults.
First time at KEC? Read up on our FAQs and first timers guide to KEC to help you prepare.
My last year in the senior high program proved to me how special KEC is, particularly the incredible encouragement from those within my discussion group. It really prompted me to think deeply every day and to praise God for the amazing opportunities we have.
2027 Speaker Lineup
Matt Fuller
Matt Fuller is the Senior Pastor at Christ Church Mayfair in central London, where he has served since it was planted in 2001. We’re thrilled to welcome him back to the KEC platform in 2027!
Despite being 5 mins walk from Buckingham Palace, he has never been invited for tea and only met the Queen once. Yet, on the upside, while plodding away for 20 years, he has been privileged to see a growing ministry to families, young workers and students as well as planting a number of other churches into other parts of the city.
He also sits on the Board of the Co-mission network of churches and has authored a number of books. His great sporting love is cricket, but given the current state of the England team, he never reveals that to Aussies.
More speakers to be announced soon! Stay tuned.
2027 Theme
Living With all your Might
Purity of purpose is often something we find an admirable thing.
When we see a person dedicate themselves to one grand – and worthy – pursuit and succeed, they earn our admiration.
When we see others willing to lay everything else aside, make any sacrifice, overcome every obstacle and bring all the powers of their mind into one single focus for the sake of a great cause, we accord them honour.
It’s the way we acknowledge that this is a worthy way – perhaps even a beautiful way – for a human life to be spent.
We describe these people as being “dedicated”, “devoted”, “single-minded”, “uncompromising”, “wholehearted”.
That kind of purity of purpose is actually a picture of zeal.
“Zeal” has extremely negative connotations now.
But when it is employed in the service of a worthy cause, it can be a beautiful thing to behold.
This is the way the Bible depicts zeal for God. It is when a person gathers together all the force, energy, will and desire of their life, and consecrates it solely to pleasing God, doing His will and advancing His glory. When someone lives all their life, with all their might. We see it perfectly in the life and death of Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul commands Christians “to never be lacking in zeal”.
But it’s easy to cool down. It’s easy to get distracted and lose your warmth. It’s possible we let zeal fade, so that the things we did at first are better than what we’re doing now.
So this Easter come and be refreshed, reminded, encouraged and spurred on in your zeal for God.
Because what greater “cause” can a human life be lived for, than for Him?

What some KEC attendees are saying
Read a range of testimonials from people who’ve attended Katoomba Easter Convention in recent years.

KEC Attendee
I’ve been coming since I was 2 years old. KEC has been a huge part of my family and as an adult I particularly find it a refreshing time delving into God’s word with no distractions around me.
KEC Attendee
We come each year and share a house with friends. Two of our kids volunteer in the children’s program and another attends the high school program. We value the opportunity our kids get to serve as volunteers, the conversations we have with the family that we share the house with, the catch-ups with long-term friends, and the encouragement we ourselves receive from the sessions.
KEC Attendee
KEC is an opportunity for a family get together with a gospel centred focus. Our children in the past and now our grandchildren love the children’s program and are encouraged and fed in their walk with the Lord and enjoy fellowship with KEC friends. Adults likewise are encouraged and challenged to continue to serve the Lord.
