July 23-26, 2025
Birmingham, AL

PKG + Motion is a four-day ministry experience created exclusively for the teenage children of pastors from across the country. Held on the beautiful Highlands College campus and including attendance at the Motion Student Conference 2025, PKG + Motion gives students a chance to step away from their everyday environment, grow closer to God, and connect with a community of peers who share a common life experience.

Big news—PKG + Motion is switching things up this summer, and we couldn’t be more excited! Because the Annual Grow Leadership Conference is happening right after the Motion Student Conference, we’re leaning into the moment to do something special. We’ll be attending the Motion Student Conference together as the official kickoff to PKG + Motion. That means PKG + Motion will start one day later than usual, but it’s all part of one unforgettable experience!

Location

PKG + Motion 2025 will be hosted at the BJCC in Birmingham, AL.

Leaders

PKG + Motion is fully facilitated by leaders who themselves grew up the children of church leaders and have the ability to connect with this special group of students. Michael Hodges, son of Church of the Highlands Founding Pastor Chris Hodges, will lead this year's event, while PK students and graduates of Highlands College lead worship and the small groups breakouts where students build strong, new friendships. This combination of fun, friendship, and authenticity make PKG + Motion an environment of real transformation.
