How to plan

It's not too early to start planning for next year's conference.

Pray about attending Momentum, seeking God’s will for your group.
Make preliminary travel plans so you have an estimated travel cost per person.
Plan a per person budget
Come up with a fundraising plan to help your students cover some of the cost of Momentum. For ideas, see our list of good fundraisers
Present Momentum to your pastor, your youth, and their parents.
Consider inviting another church in your area to attend Momentum with you. Request a promo packet to give to them.
Register by May 1 to get the early registration rate. Registrants can either mail checks directly to CE National or pay online. When registering as a Youth Worker Contact, you will have the ability to view all your students’ accounts and check on the status of payments and forms.
Think through how best to prepare your students spiritually for Momentum. Come up with a prayer plan for your group and encourage students to find an adult prayer partner, someone who will pray for them before, during, and after conference.
Confirm transportation/travel plans.
Pay registration balances by June 15.
Hold a parent meeting for all your students and their parents to be sure everyone knows what's going on.
