Youth Group Debriefing
Momentum is an annual, national youth conference for students in 6th-12th grade. We are about connecting youth to God, helping them to 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.
Momentum 2023 is July 18-23 at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, IN.

Emphasis on the Youth Group
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 with including art classes, messy group games, sports tournaments, open play options, boardgames, a themed 5k, and more!
You’ll always be able to find something to do and fun interaction between students at Momentum!
Momentum Youth Conference
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.
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 logistics of meals and transporting their groups.
You’ll always be able to find something to do and fun interaction between students at Momentum!

Ministry at Momentum
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 “hand and
heart” impact.
Hand: We work with our hands and accomplish a task that serves people and shows them that we care.
Heart: We talk with whoever we can as we serve or before and after with the intention to share the Gospel and plant seeds.
Ministry opportunities generally include serving various demographics in ways such as:
Nursing Homes
Car Washes
Adoption Services
First Responders
Food Pantries
Elderly Assistance
Labor Related Projects
Low Income Housing
Missions Organizations
Veterans Affairs
Local Churches
Ministry opportunities are available for groups to participate with each afternoon, Wednesday to Sunday instead of on campus options. The youth leader of each group decides how many afternoons the group will serve and signs up for opportunities prior to the conference.

Admission passes are available to purchase at the door for all sessions. Tickets for any main session is $12 for adults and students (no admittance for children 11 and under).
Admittance to Momentum Main Sessions will include the following costs:
Adults: $12/session
Students: $12/session
Children: Momentum does not allow children (infant to 5th grade) admittance into any of the main sessions. However, there is a Live Video Feed Room available where parents and children may view the Main Sessions.
Payment is due at the time of check-in at the Momentum Office or the Chapel on the campus. Payment may be made by check, cash, or credit card.
Lodging on campus is not available. Adults or students visiting Momentum are not permitted to stay overnight in the dorm with any registered Momentum attendee. i.e. youth pastors/workers are unable to grant permission for other students or adults from their church to stay in the dorm with their registered students/adults. This is not a space issue (empty bed available, willing to sleep on the floor, etc.), it is a liability issue and a contractual issue with the university.
Meals are not included with the Day Guest Fees. Day Guests may purchase meals on a meal-to meal basis at the Momentum Office on campus before going to the Dining Hall. The prices for the buffet-style (all-you can-eat) meals are:

Adults 12 and Over
Breakfast: 7 – 9 a.m., $7

There is no pre-conference registration required. All guests visiting campus are required to Check-in at the Momentum Office in the Student Center as soon as they arrive on campus unless arrival is 30 minutes or less before the Main Session starts, then check-in is held in the lobby of the Chapel Auditorium.
Once checked in, guests will receive their admittance tickets – which are given to the ushers at the doors of the auditorium. Guests need to register/check-in a day at a time. Each day a guest arrives on campus, they must first go to the Momentum Office to check-in.
