BHC Our Story.jpg

OUR HISTORY

Belgrave Heights Convention (BHC) began under this banner in 1918, founded in the tradition of the Keswick Convention in the north of England. 

Growing from small open-air meetings of Christians at Upwey, BHC has continued for over 102 years to bring Christians together and see transformation in their lives as they hear the Word of God preached and practically applied to their lives.

PRIORITIES

We do that by:
1. Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ
2. Hearing (and preaching) God’s Word
3. Becoming like God’s Son
4. Serving God’s Mission
5. Partnering and Fellowship in Ministry and Mission

KESWICK CONVENTION

For more than 100 years, mission has been at the very heart of the Keswick Convention and those responsible for the ministry at this time believe that’s exactly where it should stay, as that expresses the heart of God. So, today the Keswick strapline reads: Hearing God’s Word, Becoming Like God’s Son and Serving God’s Mission. Belgrave Heights Convention has a long and proud association with Keswick UK and Keswick Conventions across Australia and New Zealand.
