Simcha 2026 National Messianic Conference (Celebrate Messiah)

Simcha 2026 is the annual national Messianic conference hosted by Celebrate Messiah, a Melbourne-founded ministry to Jewish people. It runs 27–29 November 2026 at Belgrave Heights Convention Centre, about 40km east of Melbourne. The theme is "Israel: Understanding the Times—Past, Present & Future," drawn from 1 Chronicles 12:32.

The weekend opens with a Shabbat dinner on Friday, followed by worship, teaching sessions, a Shabbat service and a Saturday worship concert. Organisers describe the teaching as coming from a distinctly Messianic Jewish perspective. Speakers include David Trubek and Mitch Forman of Chosen People Ministries, with Lawrence Hirsch and Paul Cohen. Separate programs serve children, Years 7–12 youth and young adults aged 18 to 30. On-site rooms and camping are available.
