Olympic Parktel in Seoul – Site of the 2023 CELC Convention
The CELC Planning Committee has approved a tentative schedule for the 2023 international CELC convention in Seoul, South Korea. God willing, the convention will begin on Tuesday, June 6 at 8:30 am with introductions and an opening communion service. The convention will end on Thursday, June 8 at 8:00 pm after a closing service and banquet.
Participants are expected to arrive on Monday, June 5 and to depart on Friday, June 9. People who would like to come early or stay later can do so, but they will have to contact the Olympic Parktel privately.
The Planning Committee has also approved the following registration fees (USA dollars), which will cover all convention expenses, including lodging and meals.
• $400 – Individual with double occupancy
• $750 – Individual with single occupancy
• $750 – Married couple
These fees are a modest increase from what was anticipated for 2020, in keeping with recent inflation. The actual cost would be much higher per person, but many convention expenses will be covered by the CELC treasury.
The registration window will open on January 4 and close on January 31. Registering will be done online through a link that will be available on the CELC website.
CELC churches should be planning who will represent them in South Korea. Each CELC member church is encouraged to send two voting delegates. We hope that many, if not all, of the 34 CELC member churches will be represented.
For voting delegates who may need it, some travel assistance will be available through the CELC Travel Assistance Fund. Delegates may indicate that need when they register online.
The CELC Planning Committee is eagerly looking forward to meeting together again! We pray that God will bring many people together and that he will bless our time as we worship Jesus and study God’s Word together.
Please share this information with anyone you think might be interested.
