Convention 2025: The Pursuit of Meaning!
Exploring how Ecclesiastes gives purpose to life and shows us our eternal meaning.
We live in a contradictory world. Christian virtues are demanded of and signaled by everyone, yet as Christians we are so often opposed and condemned. Social media opens the door to feverish expressions of passion, but also to consumerist apathy. Personal choices and changes are celebrated, but also outlawed.
And it doesn’t take long for these contradictions to make us throw up our hands and ask, ‘What’s the point?’ ‘Is there anything of substance out there?’ ‘Is there any meaning?’
Enter the book of Ecclesiastes… It reminds us that meaning can’t be found in pleasure, money or work. Even wisdom falls short. When we chase after relationship fulfilment, generous salaries or ladder-climbing careers, it’s like chasing after the wind – it can leave us empty and hollow. At Convention 2025, we will be exploring this book, to see where we can find meaning and purpose in this meaningless world. We will see that the Creator who made us and the Redeemer who saves us is the only source of purpose in our lives.
If there is any meaning to be found, it will only be in the Creator who made you and the Redeemer who saves you.
So, join us at Convention in 2025, to rediscover the joy of meaning and purpose in a time of increasing meaninglessness. See you there!

What is this Convention everyone speaks of?
Convention exists to bring together the young adults of the CRCA for a week in God’s Word, Worship, and community. With a focus on personal discipleship, Convention serves as a ‘spiritual reset’ for the year ahead. We seek to be a support for the local church in raising up young people who will be lifelong, disciple making disciples of Jesus.
Convention 2025 will consist of plenty of time opening God’s word, worshipping together, hanging out at the village, making memories with likeminded people, some fun activities and a week to grow in your faith.
