FAQ

  • What is FastTrack?

    FastTrack On-Site Check-In: Every group or individual (those not registered with a group) who completes the registration profile (meaning that each person in your group has provided a first name, last name, personal email address, and a job title) by midnight (central standard time) August 7, 2012, will qualify for the FastTrack On-Site Check-In. Basically this means that you will receive your Name Tag, Lanyard, and Info Card in advance and will not have to wait in long lines once you arrive at the conference. Groups who qualify for the FastTrack On-Site Check-in will only be required to have your group leader "check-in" at the event. This is a huge time saver! So, complete your group's registration profile early (by August 7), and you will save time on-site.

  • Who is The D6 Conference for?

    The conference is geared for leaders, ministers, leading parents, and volunteers in the church. We are recommending each group leader to bring along other key leaders in the church who are passionate about ministering to the family. For example: senior pastor, youth minister, children’s minister, family minister, nextgen pastor, leading parents/concerned parents, CE minister, emerging generations minister, youth volunteer, children’s ministry volunteer, Sunday School teacher/life group teacher, women’s ministry leader, men’s ministry leader, educators, home school groups, etc.

  • Is The D6 Conference a family conference?

    It’s a conference about shaping our spiritual formation models to effectively pass faith along to the NEXT generation. It's an event for church leadership and parents who want to change the statistics of the percentage of students leaving the church after high school. Leaders, ministers and leading parents who attend the conference will be challenged to help churches partner wiht parents to make disciples through the lenses of Deuteronomy 6:5-7, the foundational passage in the Bible for biblical parenting.

  • Will childcare be provided?

Any child who will not be sitting on your lap or held will need to have his or her own registration. Seating is limited.

  • What makes D6 different from other Family Ministry Conferences?

    Although it's difficult to answer this because there are a lot of really good events and conferences around, but some of the major distinctives of the D6 Conference are as follows:

     

    • It's a multi-model event. It's not about "our" model of NextGen ministry or family ministry, but rather, it's about giving the best of the best within the body of Christ an opportunity to share what God is doing and has done through their discipleship models.
    • Sure Randall House is a curriculum and book publisher, but the event is not all about our resources.  Many conferences only focus on their own resources.  At D6, in addition to finding Randall House resources, we also showcase the very best of the best resources within family ministry, NextGen Ministry, discipleship, and marriage ministry.
    • We have a strong Bible and Scripture foundation, yet at the same time are practical and strategic.  Leadership, Methodology and Strategy are VERY important, and at D6, we emphesize the practical side of each of these throughout the entire event. However, they are birthed out of a strong theology of discipleship, church and family. From theology of discipleship, we gain our philosophy on discipleship.  Out of philosophy is birthed strategy and methodology of discipleship.  This will look different from church to church.  There is no one size fits all model, but there are major common threads. D6 is a place of collaboration of what we have in common: a passion and committment to make disciples (through church and home) of the next generation.

  • What does my registration include?

    D6 Conference Registration Includes entry to the Main Event conference on September 27-28, 2012, a D6 program magazine, a bag full of cool stuff, lanyard, and name badge. The registration price does not include lodging, transportation, or meals. The PreCon Labs on September 26, are an optional, add-on to the Main Event.

  • What are the PreCon Labs?

    The PreCon Labs are small group learning experiences delivered by today’s leading and most creative frontliners in ministering to the family. The PreCon Labs are on a first come first served basis and are a $119 add-on to the Main Event Conference. We do anticipate the Labs will sell out in 2012 before the conference begins. Lunch will be provided.

    Yes. See Pricing.

  • What are my payment options?

  • What is the “take away” from The D6 Conference?

    Our challenge is not that we don’t have enough resources to equip parents. Thanks to churches, ministries, authors, and publishers, we now have more effective and intuitive resources than we have ever had before. The challenge is that we have not been successfully passing faith to the NEXT generation. D6 will give you the discipleship theology, philosophy, strategies, and creative methods.  It's the one multi-model gathering on family ministry where the body of Christ has the opportunity to experience what God is doing in some of the most innovative family ministries around the country.
