Momentum Youth Conference 2024
Is Now Open
LIFE-CHANGING SESSIONS
HANDS-ON MINISTRY
Momentum Youth Conference is an annual, national Christian youth conference for students in 6th-12th grade.
We are about connecting youth to God, helping them understand where they belong in God’s kingdom and how they can know God’s purpose for their lives. Momentum Youth Conference creates an atmosphere conducive to learning, listening, serving, and following Jesus.
Students come to this experience expecting to encounter God, to be challenged in their faith, to learn and be reminded of truth from God’s Word, to strengthen their relationships with their youth group and peers, and to have lots of fun!

Who Can Attend the Student Ministry Conference
Student
Youth Worker
Individuals wishing to register and serve as a youth worker need to be at least 21 years of age. If younger than 21, contact registrar@buildmomentum.org to see if you still qualify to register as a youth worker.
Adult Guests Staying Off Campus
Adult Guests (staying off campus) are only available for those who are one year out of high school and older. This registration package is not available for anyone younger than 18 years of age. Anyone younger than 18 years of age wishing to attend Main Sessions or purchase meals should consider the Day Guest registration.
Day Guests
Online Day Guest registration is available and can be found through the “Register” button on our website. Guests are also welcome to register once they arrive on campus. Admittance to Main Session is $20 per session for adults and students (12 years old and older) and $10 per session for children (aged 6-11 years old). Infants to 5-year-olds are free. Payment is due either at the time of online registration or at check-in located at the Chapel beginning 30 minutes prior to the start of each main session. Payment may be made at Guest Check-In by check, cash, or credit card or online with advanced registration.
More details can be found in the Day Guest Policy here.
Volunteers
Volunteers are those who graduated from high school at least a year ago and who attend the conference to assist staff in several areas. Because volunteers have significant responsibilities each day during the week, Momentum assists in helping underwrite a portion of registration. As there are 25 volunteer positions available, payment of the initial $75 deposit can secure your spot to fill any of those positions once accepted.
Interested volunteers should complete an application as their first step. Once accepted, the Registrar will send a link to register as a volunteer. Click here to learn more about volunteering at Momentum Youth Conference and to fill out the application form.
Child caregiver
A registrant who supervises the children of a Staff Member or Youth Worker. A Child Caregiver could be one of the parents — but would need to register as a “Child Caregiver” if not bringing another adult to serve in that role. A parent who is a Momentum Child Care Giver is unable also to be a Momentum Youth Worker. By Momentum’s policy, nobody younger than a 6th-grade student is allowed to be housed in the student dorm.
Main Session Seating: Parents or Child Caregivers with children younger than sixth grade will need to be seated in the designated balcony area for families with children. No children are permitted to be seated on the main floor level. A live feed viewing area is located directly outside this balcony seating area. Parents are expected to take restless children here to continue viewing the session. Children and, by proxy, Child Caregivers are unable to attend Power Track Seminars, Youth Worker Labs, and Staff Meetings or to go off campus with the ministry options.
Registration is $285 if registered by June 15, 2024, and $350 if registering between June 16, 2024 and July 16, 2024. That registration includes lunch, dinner, and housing in the Staff dorms. A breakfast plan is optional ($30). See our child policy for more information.
Child
- Infant to 4 years old: $45 Register Jan 1 – June 15, or $60 Register June 16th to July 16th (eat free in the dining IWU cafeteria by IWU policy).

Ministry At Momentum
Innovative youth ministry opportunities at Momentum are transferable experiences that act as a catalyst for students to be serving when they return home.
HAND & HEART IMPACT
In all of our partnerships, we strive for a “head, heart and hand” impact for youth leadership development.
Head: We want students to know Jesus, His word the truth that will impact and change their lives forever.
Hand: We work with our hands and accomplish a task that serves people and shows them that we care.
Heart: God’s truth should impact our hearts to the point that we will talk with whoever we can as we serve, before and after, with the intention of sharing the Gospel and planting seeds.
We teach simple acronyms and methods in main sessions to help students know how to start conversations and simply share the hope that they have.
Why Momentum Starts Here
Momentum is a well-rounded experience that we believe God will use to change your students’ lives in powerful ways!
Momentum offers sessions, in-depth breakout tracks, afternoon fun options, and hands-on ministry opportunities.
Students meet peers from other churches and grow tremendously in their relationships within their youth group.
Momentum sets the stage for your youth group going into the school year. It’s not just a “mountain top experience;” it’s a launching point designed to help your group build momentum for the rest of your year.
Values Of
Momentum Youth Conference
An Emphasis on Scripture
Hands-On Ministry
Momentum offers hands-on ministry opportunities for youth groups to participate throughout the week. Each afternoon, youth groups can choose to go off campus and serve the community in various ways. We focus on serving in tangible ways for students to be challenged to pray, share their story, and talk about what God has done in their lives.
When students serve together at Momentum with their local youth group, it helps them see that ministry can be done in their own communities when they return home.
Partnering with the Local Church
We believe in the local church and youth group and its impact on the lives of students in ongoing relationships while at Momentum and at home.
Each night includes a “youth group time” when leaders debrief with their students about what they experienced that day in sessions, power tracks, ministry, etc. Youth pastors tell us this is one of their favorite times at Momentum — processing all that God is doing with their students.
Groups are housed together per gender in dorms, which creates a great atmosphere for groups to bond. Housing and meals are on the same campus as afternoon events, sessions, seminars, etc. which allows youth workers to spend more time with their students and less time with the logistics of meals and transporting their groups.
Creating a Fun Experience
Momentum is a packed week, not only with amazing sessions, opportunities to serve, time with your youth group, and quality training but also with afternoon events! Each afternoon, we offer a variety of fun options for students to participate in, including art classes, group games, sports tournaments, open play options, indoor options, 5Ks, and more!
You’ll always be able to find something to do and fun interaction between students at Momentum!
