Motion Student Conference 2026
Motion Student Conference 2026
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.

He comes to us as he's finishing his Bachelors Degree at UA and preparing for theological course work through Dallas Theological Seminary.
For the past 2 years he's been working with College, Middle School, and High School students at Church of the Highlands and discerning his call to ministry. John brings a heart for Jesus and a passion for investing in the next generation of Jesus followers. He’s eager to jump in—building relationships, equipping small-group leaders, and partnering with parents to help our students follow Jesus with confidence.
Meet & Greet: This Sunday (September 28) after church. Parents and students, we’d love for you to stop by right after the service for a quick meet & greet with John. You’ll have a chance to say hello, hear a bit of his story and vision for Student Ministry, and ask questions. We’ll keep it casual and brief—perfect for a quick connection before lunch.
