What is South West Queensland Christian Convention?
Hosted at the Dalby Christian College, SWQCC is an annual conference that started with the purpose of supporting and encouraging regional churches in South West Queensland by gathering together as one body. With a focus on gospel centred preaching, SWQCC runs sessions and seminars over one weekend each year, that are built for Christians in rural areas. We also share stories of Christian life from the South West region, with the hope of building up believers who may usually be isolated from gathering in large groups.
Dave Jenson is our 2025 speaker with a deep love for Jesus and a passion for evangelism
kids and youth program
Across the weekend a team of helpers from Christ Central Church in Eatons Hill Brisbane will be leading the primary aged kids through a program helping them focus on the gospel in their own live.
Creche will be provided in the the Dalby Christian College’s early learning centre facilities on site.
There will also be several activities and seminars specifically for high school students throughout the weekend, run by youth leaders who have a passion for sharing the gospel and building relationships with rural youth students.
SWQCC kids and youth team members all have blue cards and are required to have obtained a certification in child safety training.
The SWQCC committee would love you to take something away from convention to help you and the church family you are with keep growing.
The Wandering Bookseller is a an excellent service. They are based in the NSW Blue Mountains and travel to conventions to make it easier for organisers and convention goers to get great books.
