A Family Transformed at Katoomba Easter Convention: Carla’s KCC Story

23/3/2021

 
We recently had the pleasure of chatting to long-time Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) delegate, Carla Matthews. In this story, she shares how KEC has been a catalyst for faith and a source of encouragement for her and her family.

One of the joys of Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) is seeing the spiritual impact that the event has on individuals and their families. We recently had the pleasure of chatting to long-time KEC delegate, Carla Matthews. Over the years, she has witnessed first-hand the ways in which KEC has bolstered her own faith, and spiritually impacted her two adult children. 

On more than one occasion, Carla recalls one of her sons saying that KEC is his “favourite weekend of the year”. Her daughter is “very thankful for KEC”, as it served as the catalyst for her decision to follow Jesus after attending the conference in 2008. To this day, attending KEC remains a tradition that she can enjoy with her entire family.  

“I became a Christian at KEC in 2008 so I’m very thankful for KEC. It’s great to know that every Easter I know exactly where my family will be—spending time together under God’s word. We have the added bonus that so many of our extended family and friends attend as well.” 

The KEC family tradition was started by Carla’s brother and his wife many years ago. For them, the KEC tradition looks like a relaxing annual holiday where the extended family can enjoy quality time under God’s word and each other at the beautiful Fairmont grounds.  
​
Hosted by Katoomba Christian Convention, KEC promises an annual retreat for every family member in the beautiful Blue Mountains. Its tagline “Go Together. Grow Together.” alludes to the event's capacity to serve delegates of all ages, from toddlers through to adults, with the saving message of the gospel.  

Through powerful Bible teaching, inspiring testimonies, worship in song, children and youth programs, and a whole host of family-friendly activities, every family member will be served with the gospel within an age-appropriate program.  

While there have been many ways in which KEC has benefited Carla and strengthened her faith, what stands out for her is the Bible teaching available at KEC each year.  Although Carla attends a church with “very good Bible teaching”, KEC gives her unique access to a wide variety of preachers in Australia and beyond.  

“The bible teaching we receive at KEC is as good as it gets, year after year. I appreciate the variety of styles that I’m exposed to. The teachers are people from different denominations and different backgrounds with different styles and focus.” 
​
“I find the 4 days away being taught well and clearly from the Bible extremely encouraging. It’s often confronting and challenging, but I always leave feeling uplifted and bolstered to continue on my walk with Jesus."

​Bring your family to KEC this April!


With only one week until Easter, it's officially time to lock in your plans for the upcoming long weekend! We believe that KEC would be an excellent choice for your family—and there are so many reasons why!  

This year, KEC will be hosted in a new COVID-safe format that weaves together familiar and much-loved program elements as well as creative and innovative features. The event will feature a high-quality livestream for Adults that can be accessed anywhere and a choice between an in-person program in Katoomba or Video On-Demand content for Children and Youth. With so many access options available, there’s no need to miss out on KEC this year! 

Whether you purchase onsite tickets for your kids or tune into the livestream, every KEC21 registration comes with free admission to the Easter Sunday Family Fair at the KCC Convention Centre in Katoomba.  

The Family Fair will be a family-friendly Easter Sunday event including a Children’s Concert with Dan Warlow, a Giant Easter Egg Hunt, and Family Fair entertainment in the KCC Plaza.  Due to COVID-19 restrictions, spaces are limited, so please RSVP your place in advance if your family is attending the Family Fair.
