Keswick Convention 2025

At Keswick Convention 2025, as we celebrate 150 years of Keswick Ministries, we will be exploring the truths of the Bible through our theme Transformed:

  • We are transformed: Christ, crucified for us, became our sin, delivered us from darkness to light, and clothed us in his righteousness.
  • We will be transformed: One day, we will be presented before God’s throne, faultless and full of joy; pure, beautiful and stain-free.
  • We are being transformed: The power of sin is broken and the penalty paid, but we still battle with its ongoing presence. We curve inwards, forget who we are in Christ, and live for ourselves instead. But God continues his transforming work.

Being transformed is about more than just change on the outside. It is an inside-out heart-transplant as the Holy Spirit helps us desire Jesus, become more Christlike and bear fruit for his glory. Until he takes us home.

Keswick Convention offers a varied programme to encourage you in your walk with the Lord, and space in the afternoon to appreciate his creation and all that Keswick and the surrounding area has to offer.

Join with thousands of believers in worship to our God in the beautiful setting of the Lake District.
