Munich. Not only the planning and preparations for the first International Church Convention in Munich over the Pentecost weekend are running at full speed – the registrations for the coming "feast of faith" are also increasingly gaining pace.

In the meantime, more than 35,000 participants have registered for the Church Convention via their congregation. Numerous registration lists were submitted especially in the last week in January, the end of the registration phase via the congregations, and these are now being evaluated.

From now on, registrations for the International Church Convention can be made online at tickets.ikt2014.org or by telephone +49 7940 549 397. Registrations via the congregations are now no longer possible.

The prices for the various tickets are between 10 euros for a 1-day reduced ticket and 60 euros for a 2-day family ticket. There will also be a box office on the grounds on Friday, June 6, 2014 and Saturday, June 7, 2014.

On the three days of the Church Convention from Friday, June 6 to Sunday, June 8, 2014, participants will be offered a highly varied program with lectures, workshops, discussion forums, music, and much more. The program booklet – the ICC Guide – is currently being produced, and each registered participant will receive a printed copy. The Guide will present the complete program for the Church Convention in detail so that it will be possible for you to already compile your own special program for the Church Convention in advance.

The absolute highpoint of the first International Church Convention will be the divine service on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, 2014, which will be held by the international church leader, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider, in the Olympic Stadium and to which all participants at the Church Convention are invited. For all those not participating in the Church Convention, the divine service will be transmitted to many church congregations throughout Europe by satellite.
