Easter Time Convention (ETC) 2025

Easter Time Convention 2026

2nd - 6th April

ETC is Credo’s annual camp held over the Easter Long Weekend, where everyone can come together to look into God’s word at Stanwell Tops. Lasting 5 days from the 2nd to the 6th of April, ETC 2026 is a time of reflection, learning and praise as we remember God’s love on the cross and its enduring impacts to us now. It’s also a time to connect with others as we enjoy each other’s company and dive deeper into God’s Purpose for Humanity.

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is.”
- 1 John 3:1-2

ETC is a welcoming space for everyone, whether you’re looking to explore Christianity, or already a Christian. No matter what faculty, country, or what your opinion of Jesus is, ETC aims to be a space where you are welcomed. We’d love for you to come along, expand your understanding of God, build new friendships, and nourish your spiritual growth.

About ETC

This year at ETC 2026, we’ll be exploring the Doctrine of Humanity. Join with other students from UTS and other CBD Campuses as we hear talks from Sam Atwood. Join us as we explore God's Purpose for Humanity, as creator of the universe, moving us from dust to glory.

Meet our speaker: Sam Atwood

Sam Atwood

Sam has been on staff with Credo since 2011, and is passionate about seeing students be transformed by the deep truth of God and be developed for leadership and service in all their life. He lives with his wife Kirby, and three boys Oliver, Linden, and Jonny (plus his border collie Millie, and pet lizard Lucas!) in the Inner West, where he is part of St Barnabas Anglican Church Broadway, and enjoys pottering in his garden, cycling around Sydney, fostering his boys’ love of cricket and, (when he can manage it), getting to the Blue Mountains to go canyoning!
Sam is praying that at ETC26, the head and the heart would be brought together as we explore the profound doctrine of humanity and its many implications for our lives.

What happens at ETC?

ETC is jampacked with activities, ranging from our:

  • Main sessions with talks, singing and prayer
  • Review groups where we can reflect on and discuss the talks
  • Facnet time where we bond with our faculties
  • Electives that unpack world relevant topics to stretch our thinking even further
  • Easter sessions where we remember Jesus’ death on the cross and his resurrection
  • Individual reflection times where we reflect on how God’s word affects us personally.
  • Free time to hang out with, and get to know new and old friends
  • Sunday Night Fun (more info to come)

Never been to a Christian convention before?

ETC is open and welcoming to all individuals. Whether you’ve never opened the Bible, just beginning to explore Christianity, or even currently a believer, ETC is designed to draw you deeper into the Bible and foster biblical beliefs. Participants are free to proceed at their own pace and may choose to simply observe activities, such as prayer, with no pressure to engage.
