Product overview

Katoomba Christian Convention (KCC) operates as an interdenominational, Bible-preaching convention ministry founded in 1903, offering a portfolio of both digital products and in-person event conferences. The core digital product is the KCC One App—a mobile content platform available on iOS and Android that provides access to event talks, a library of Bible teaching content, devotionals, and resources in audio, text, and video formats. NextGen Online is a complementary online training resource for youth and children's ministry leaders featuring on-demand courses. In parallel, KCC organizes and hosts multiple annual conferences: KYCK (youth conference for high schoolers), BASECAMP (men's conference), OneLove (women's conference), Spark (young adult conference), Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC), and Oxygen Conference (for church leaders). StayKCC provides on-site accommodation at the Katoomba venue. Together, these products serve Christians across Australia and internationally through both digital content delivery and in-person convention experiences.
