MOTION is more than a conference. It’s more than bands and speakers. MOTION is about a generation of young people empowered by Jesus, equipped to make a difference, and living out their faith every day! It is placed strategically at the end of summer to launch students into the school year ready to live their lives in MOTION at home, in the local church, in their cities, and around the world.
