Attention all youth pastors: This one's for you!
MOTION is founded on the belief that our faith is not meant to be idle, hidden, or contained but instead lived out in MOTION in Christ. In 2009, God laid a vision on the heart of Highlands’ student ministry team to bring youth groups and their leaders together from all over the southeast for one weekend. The vision for the weekend was simply this: worship, pray, and teach this generation how to put their faith into MOTION.

Based on the truth of Ephesians 2:10, MOTION desires to see students' lives transformed by the presence of God and doing the good works He planned for them long ago. However, MOTION isn't just for students; it's grown into an active and reliable resource for youth pastors around the world as well.
Below, you will find an overview of the different experiences offered through MOTION, as well as a way to get connected to the MOTION family today!
MOTION Conference
July 23-25, 2020
MOTION Conference is a three-day conference for middle school, high school, and college students that consist of powerful worship and main sessions led by guest speakers, opportunities to connect with other students through community groups, and more!
MOTION was always meant to be more than a conference. MOTION is about a generation empowered by Jesus, equipped to make a difference, and living out their faith every day!
