MOVE Conference is the largest winter evangelism conference for teenagers in Georgia, and the absolute best place to bring your youth group for their retreat this winter! Joining us this year are Shane Pruitt and Edenfield!
What is MOVE?
This year’s MOVE Conference is designed to get students out of their seats and includes two days at Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, GA. All three sessions will be at Wild Adventures’ large, covered venue and our guests will get out of their seats throughout the day and experience the park. MOVE Conference is an evangelistic student conference hosted by the Next Gen office of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board.
NEW THIS YEAR: WE HAVE THE WHOLE PARK TO OURSELVES BOTH DAYS!
