WHAT LEGACY WILL YOUR STUDENTS LEAVE? After all, everyone has a kingdom…a realm of influence! We all make decisions, lots of them every day. Our decisions not only impact our lives but the lives of people around us. Our personal legacy is determined one decision at a time. The kings of Judah impacted generations of people through their decisions. That’s why decisions are important.
THEEE QUEST Genesis
What would cause a person to leave family and friends to move to a foreign land? A Quest, that’s what! Abraham left familiarity in the dust as he pursued God’s plan for his life! This unique study of Genesis 12-40 will bring the Patriarchs into your students’ everyday experience! The Patriarchs’ pursuit of God’s Will can be your students’ Quest, too!
NEW WIND, FRESH FIRE Acts, Part 1 Chapters 1-12
This riveting study of the early growth of the Church will help your students understand the incredible price that others have paid to insure that the Faith would be delivered to them! They will hear from Peter, Stephen, Philip, and others who will show them the true meaning of courage! They will be encouraged in their determination to pass on the flame of God’s truth—His light and His love—to those who follow!

Momentum1
A region-wide event for the Youth Groups!
Imagine being part of a youth group that is...
...radically on fire for God and His Word!
...engaged in true and honest worship!
...united for Christ on their school campuses!
...contagious with love for Christ and each other!
Now picture all that happening in your very own youth group! Momentum1 is a weekend event for youth groups in your community that begins with a simple question: “If God chose youth in your community to make a huge difference, what kind of youth would He choose?” Using drama, games, music, worship, team building in small groups, and lively large group Bible studies, we guide youth to see how God can and will use them in a mighty way! Every hour is jam-packed with exciting action! Here are some features:
• Super team-building recreation!
• Intense Drama (and we mean intense!) plus crazy skits portray various ways to witness…or not!
• Student book is given to each participant, features helpful information for every student to follow God into a life of adventure!
• A final Celebration features music, drama, video, sharing, and even a “last supper.”
What a Momentum1 WEEKEND Does:
This event may “look like” a Disciple Now in some ways: It is held on the weekend and involves youth groups in small groups, often staying overnight in homes. However, from that point it is significantly different. Momentum1 will help your youth group gain VISION for what God desires to accomplish through them…together! This weekend will be:
• FOCUSED: The primary goal is to help every youth group member get a vision of God’s purpose for the whole group! So the students spend a lot of time together... separated only at night into homes. Momentum1 focuses your youth on the "E's" that are essential to a youth group that exalts Christ: equipping, evangelism, and encouraging. The entire New Testament follows this pattern:
o Equipping: The Gospels are about Jesus equipping His disciples to be on mission in this world. A youth group that is healthy has a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. He alone energizes the youth to serve Him. We strengthen our relationship to Christ through Scripture and prayer.
o Evangelism: The book of Acts is about the explosion of the church as it evangelized the known world. A healthy youth group that has been equipped through Scripture and prayer will always develop His compassion for the lost. Evangelism always follows proper equipping.
o Encouraging: The letters to the churches that follow the book of Acts encourage and edify the church. A youth group that is reaching out to lost youth will have victories to celebrate, but will also understand the great need to support each other when the going gets tough A youth group that is not evangelizing the lost on their campus will have little need for what the Bible describes as fellowship between believers.
• FUN, but it is much more than a “fun weekend.” Think of it as a kind of "self-diagnostic tool for youth groups.” We help youth discover what God could do with a fully devoted youth group! With this goal in mind, every hour and each component of the weekend moves sequentially. Momentum1 is not a lock-in or "all-nighter." Properly prepared, students will come with a sense of anticipation for what God is going to do while we are together! We will have fun, we will laugh, we will play. But everything we do will point students to God's best for their lives and for their group.
Momentum1 is for is for your adults, too!
• Innovative Adult Training Sessions: While your students are involved in Strategy Groups, you get the advantage of a "volunteer training track" as well! Adult Strategy sessions at Momentum1 will provide relevant training just for adults! Designed by Roger Glidewell--Global Youth Ministry's Director--a veteran Youth Minister and Professor of Youth Ministry at Union University--this training will be invaluable as your leaders go home to help lead fired-up students!
• Opportunities for Adult Participation: There will be numerous opportunities for adult leaders to help make the weekend a success. Some adults may be enlisted to assist with the teams. Others may help with recreation or assist with meal preparation or the finale. We want the adult leadership to be part of what is happening, so we do our best to involve them.
When the weekend is concluded we hope everyone present will realize that God has spoken! We believe that He will do just that, so much so that we truly hope you will get every single member of your youth group to do whatever it takes to be part of it. Once it’s over, there's no going back to yesterday! The future will be different for each participant...and for the group!
Momentum2 takes the next step by helping you as a youth leader develop and strengthen your leadership team. This conference is unique among leadership events because it brings together three training seminars in one: It is a volunteer adult training seminar, a student leader weekend retreat, and a youth minister’s conference all in the same weekend! During this 23-hour weekend event, you can spend time with other youth leaders while your adult volunteers and your student leaders (rising 11th graders and up) are being encouraged, trained, and inspired!
Our objective is to help you spark your “dream team” in under 24 hours! Momentum2 is a unique blend of volunteer training and youth leadership inspiration where you and your ministry team can dream, pray, laugh and learn biblical youth ministry principles together!
Don’t worry! We are not going to send you home with a “cookie-cutter” youth program as some conferences attempt to do! Instead, we will focus upon the biblical principles that can help you inspire your team to develop the excitement and motivation needed to uniquely and creatively reach the youth of your community!
In less than 24 hours, your team will receive... ...INSPIRATION!
Vision Assemblies for all conference participants will inspire and inform everyone with biblical principles for youth ministry. These conferences will guide your workers to understand God’s goal for youth groups, the essential elements of a healthy youth group, plus how to grow a youth ministry one step at a time!
...INFORMATION!
Leader Labs will provide practical application for youth pastors, volunteer adults, and young leaders! We will help your adults see the value of their work among youth as small group leaders, Bible study teachers, and adult guides for youth. Your student leaders will grasp the significance of their influence in the youth group as they are motivated to leave a godly legacy for the youth who follow their example. Youth leaders will gain insight into enlisting and equipping volunteer leaders, how to develop and maintain a healthy balance in youth ministry programming, and more!
...IMPLEMENTATION!
“Dream Teams” (your church delegation) will spend time developing “ownership” of your youth group’s ministry! This is our favorite part: You will actually have several opportunities throughout the weekend to meet with the team that you brought with you to dream together about God’s desires for your youth ministry. Discussion guides will be supplied to you to help you guide discussions with your team! Youth leaders tell us that this is their favorite part of the weekend!
