MOTION Student Conference 2024
WHAT IS MOTION CONFERENCE?
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! It is placed strategically at the end of summer to launch students into the school year refreshed, equipped, and inspired to live their lives in MOTION at home, in the local church, in their cities, and around the world.
THEME
At MOTION 2024, we will rally behind Colossians 3:2 which says,“Set your minds ON THINGS ABOVE, not on earthly things.” Life can throw many pressures and distractions at us. As we focus our hearts and minds ON THINGS ABOVE at MOTION we will be able to walk out life with confidence, on purpose, full of peace, and equipped to live the life we are called to live through God’s power in us.

WHAT TO EXPECT
MAIN SESSIONS
Main Sessions are hosted in the Legacy Arena by the Highlands team and feature our special guest artists and speakers. During each session, you will sit together as a group and students will learn how to connect with God in worship and apply the truth of His Word.
COMMUNITY GROUPS
Community Groups are designed to connect and engage students in life-giving relationships and lead them to dig deeper into the truths shared during main sessions. They are the perfect environment to meet new friends and develop tools to start the school year strong for Jesus. Groups are divided by age (middle school, high school, and college) and placed in exhibition halls throughout the BJCC property. Our students will have a Highlands Pastor help facilitate their group time.

SEATING
Students will be seated with the Highlands Campus with which they registered and will be placed into a Seating Community. Seating Communities will rotate each day of conference. Being grouped with their Highlands Campus provides an excellent opportunity for your student to get to know their peers and campus leaders.
OUT-OF-TOWN STUDENTS - MOTION STUDENT PACKAGE
We want to make it easy for parents to send their students and students to have the best experience possible. Our team has worked hard to create an intentional experience and truly get to know more students from their campus.
This is available for purchase for middle school, high school, and incoming college freshmen students who attend Church of the Highlands and are traveling from an Highlands campus outside of the Birmingham area.
This package includes Transportation, Lodging, and Meals from when they leave the Highlands location to when they return after the conference.
The cost of this package is an additional $225 to your ticket.
Here are some additional details:
Transportation
We will provide a transportation schedule closer to the conference. Most students will travel on charter buses for the duration of their conference.
Lodging
Lodging will be provided at a hotel in close proximity to the BJCC. We have policies and standards in place to keep students safe.
Meals
Six meals and various snacks will be provided over the three days for every package. You may want to send additional spending money for your student for any extra snacks they may desire to purchase on their own. We are prepared to have Gluten Friendly options available, for students who need it. Please designate that on your registration.
Team
Our campus leaders will accompany students at all times.

Campuses will have reserved seating together in the Motion Students section of the Arena. This provides an excellent opportunity for your student to get to know their peers and campus leaders.
