About

what is motion
MOTION is a local church student conference that 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 our local church 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, prayer, and focused teaching on one thing- this generation putting their faith into MOTION. Based on the truth of Ephesians 2:10, it is our desire to see students' lives transformed by the presence of God and doing the good works He planned for them long ago.
MOTION is more than a conference. It’s more than bands and speakers. MOTION is about a generation empowered by Jesus, equipped to make a difference, and living out their faith every day!
MOTION 2022
Now in its fourteenth year, MOTION 2022 will be unlike any we have seen before. We are excited for the opportunity to gather students and their leaders from around the country back in the Arena in-person together in Birmingham, Alabama.
We see a world full of opportunity, created with purpose, redeemed by the love of Jesus, living in MOTION, and will start at MOTION 22! It is our prayer that students and youth leaders leave the conference refreshed, equipped, and inspired to live their lives in MOTION at home, in the local church, in their cities, and around the world.
Everyone, everywhere - come join us back in the Arena at MOTION 22!
