Escape city life and explore more of the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains.

Castlereagh Conference Centre is a beautiful venue located at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Our historic venue has meeting and dining space together with modern cabin accommodation for a variety of small groups.

We are thrilled to announce that Roger and Denise Vince, our special guest speakers, will be leading a variety of interactive sessions over the weekend. These engaging workshops and group discussions will focus on the theme of Community, offering a fresh perspective different from traditional lectures or sermons. With their extensive background in ministry, Roger and Denise have a strong passion for Singles Ministry, which actually played a pivotal role in their own relationship journey. Be prepared to hear more about their inspiring story firsthand during the upcoming weekend!
