2025 Argyll Convention - Your Truth, My Truth, vs. THE TRUTH
We are delighted to warmly invite you to attend this year's Argyll Convention. It is one of many Conventions held across the UK, mainly in the summer months. We are now in our 12th year.
The dates are Tuesday 5th August to Thursday 7th August inclusive and the venue is again the Corran Halls in Oban.
As usual, there is no charge (donations welcome) or registration, and you can turn up without booking to as many sessions as you like. You will be made very welcome.
This is a unique local opportunity to meet Christians or to find out more about Christianity. It is not a theological conference or a gathering for clergy but aimed at the Christian-in-the-pew or non-Christian 'enquirer' and does not assume any particular level of knowledge of the Bible!
This year Joe Barnard and Andy Robertson are coming to give the main talks with morning (10am to 12 noon) and evening sessions (7.30pm to 9pm)
Joe Barnard is the pastor of Holyrood Evangelical Church in Edinburgh and the executive director of Cross Training Ministries, a discipleship ministry focused on training men in spiritual fitness. Originally, he is from New Orleans, but most of his pastoral ministry has been in Scotland. Joe has authored various books including The Way Forward: A Road Map of Spiritual Growth for Men in the 21st Century. He is married to Anna. They have four children.
Rev Andy Robertson leads the Charleston Community Church, Dundee (a member of the wider Free Church of Scotland), a church plant of St Peter’s Free Church. Andy and his elders share the gospel to a community of 4,500 people. This is part of a 20 schemes church plant initiative focusing on the most impoverished communities in Scotland. Andy is a graduate in animation and computer arts and has a Theology Degree. Andy is married to Caireen, and they have three children.
We will have lunchtime workshops in the café. We will have Mission Speakers from Open Doors, The Scottish Bible Society and Samaritan’s Purse. The Good Book Company will provide a bookstall and give Christian books updates. There will be a Praise band to lead our worship. A Prayer Room will be provided. A full programme will be provided in future mailshots and will appear on our website.
Flyers for sharing the event more widely, will be sent in due course in follow on emails, In the meantime we attach our advert that has been appearing in some Christian Publications.
We hope you will save the dates and come along. If you need further information, you can always write to us at our email address. We attach ‘Friends of Argyll Convention’ Information. Please consider becoming a Friend so that you may partner with the aims of the Convention.
