MOVE 2024

MOVE is a 5-day conference for rising 9th graders through graduating seniors that takes place in Salisbury, MD.

This Year: The Rest of Your Life

DO YOU FEEL PRESSURED?To measure up? To be the best, the brightest, the funniest, the prettiest, the strongest? To try harder, work longer, never let up, never give in, and never quit?

DO YOU WONDER WHAT YOU'RE COING TO DO WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? Does all your striving, all your efforts to keep up, to stand out, to be noticed, to make someone proud only lead to being tired, exhausted, burnt-out, worn-out, fatigued, and weary?

IF SO, THEN JESUS HAS SOMETHING HE WANTS YOU TO HEAR, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
