The 2015 Convention, held mainly at Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church, will begin on Friday 21st August and continue through until Saturday 29th August, finishing with a celebration event to be held in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.

Committee Chairman Tom Clarke extends a warm welcome to people to come along to the many events as part of an action packed 2015 programme.

“Our theme this year is Building the Kingdom. We have an incredible line up for our closing event at the Waterfront Hall including Professor John Lennox from Oxford University. Maud Kells will also be taking part and praise will be lead by the New Irish Choir and Orchestra and Alistair Hamill and band.

“Throughout the week there will be an exhibition of over 70 mission agencies in the church hall Monday to Friday, open from 6pm. This is a great opportunity for people to talk to representatives about their work in the global mission field and encourage them in the process.”
