These two days are designed for leaders to gather from all over the country with our Motion Team to receive fresh vision, gain new practical tools, and build relationships that will help you thrive in your ministry.

Additionally, you will hear how Motion House can become a year-round ministry family and how Motion Conference can serve as a catalyst for their student ministry.
