    A great place to be challenged to make parents and families one of the top priorities in your youth ministry.”

    "If you can choose only one conference this year for your youth or children's ministry staff and volunteers, choose D6 in Louisville! If what they need is inspiration and big-picture vision, do the main conference; if they need depth and specialized training, the Pre-Conference is the perfect choice. Whether you do the Pre-Conference, the Conference, or both, your workers will be shaped by skilled leaders who love the gospel and who see families as a God-ordained means to pass the story of God's work in Christ from one generation to the next."”

    Everywhere I travel around the country I meet people who attended D6. They consistently tell me how challenged, equipped and motivated they were by the conference. It's clear that God is using the conference to equip people today to have a fantastic impact on theIr communities. It's been a privilege for me to be a part of it. And I look forward to seeing how God continues to use D6.”
  • Ryan Akers
    Student Pastor, Calvary Fellowship Church, Fenton, MO
    The D6 Conference has been instrumental in helping me shape my philosophy of ministry in the local church. Reaching out to walk along side families is always much easier said than done, but the D6 Conference has given me the confidence and tools I need to move forward in partnering with families in our church. Anyone who wants to be stretched, motivated, and encouraged in their ministry needs to make the D6 Conference a must attend event for their calendar.”

    Who needs another conference? Nobody, unless it’s the right conference. If you’re a ministry leader, parent or someone who has a heart to transfer a vibrant faith to the next generation, D6 is the right conference for you. We are faced with a culture of busy churches and overwhelmed parents that need a clear plan to pass a spiritual legacy onto the children in their care. D6 will equip you to do just that and inspire you to do it through the power of God’s amazing grace.”
  • Fred Luter
    President of Southern Baptist Convention, Pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans, LA
    I attended my first D6 Conference in 2012. After attending several sessions I was upset with myself that I had not been coming for years. Everything was done first class, the speakers, the music, the skits, and the interaction with the audience was truly enjoyable! I encourage all believers who are interested in having churches, families, and ministries that truly make an impact for the Kingdom of God to check out the D6 Conference.”
  • Tommy Swindol
    Adult Minister, Donelson Fellowship, Donelson, TN
    I've had the privilege of going to some wonderful conferences in the past, but D6 is by far the best I've ever been to! From the caliber of speakers and topics to the incredible focal point on ministry within the family, every bit of it is simply right on! If there's one conference to go to make it D6!”
  • Dianna Pendley
    Director of Children's Ministries, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, TX
    D6 was truly one of the most outstanding conferences I've ever attended!! The information shared was relevant, inspirational, God centered, and family driven! Our Young Marrieds Minister and I attended together and how great it was to be able to hear the same conference and be able to think thru how it affected our church and the ministries God has allowed us to be a part of! I know that D6 will be on my list for next year! I would encourage any church that is wanting to impact families in the most strategic way not to miss this conference. I'm thankful for Randall House and the sacrifice they are making to make this conference happen...you guys rock!!”
  • Ken Simpson
    Sr. Pastor, Calvary Fellowship Free Will Baptist Church, Fenton, MO
    Generational faith is absolutely essential as we fulfill the Great Commission. It’s not automatic, nor is it easy. That’s why I appreciate the strategic vision of the D6 Conference to equip parents and church leaders to think biblically about how we foster Christian faith in the next generation. It’s a fresh presentation of a timeless and biblical mandate.”
  • Karen Parsons
    Children Ministry Coordinator, Evangelical Methodist Church, Elizabeth City, NC
    Our church sent a group of 6 people to the D6 conference: our Sr. Pastor, Children's Director, Youth Coordinator, Steward Board member, Children's Worker/Children's Choir Director, and Women's Ministry Leader. We each felt as if the conference had been designed just for us! Many of us in our church family have been sensing God's "new" direction for us as a church for quite some time . . . the D6 concept just reaffirmed for us that we are hearing from God and heading in the direction He wants us to be headed in. We came away with renewed passion, great ideas, and even a bit overwhelmed by all that lies ahead of us. We traveled all the way from North Carolina and it was time very well spent.”
  • James Brown
    Minister to Families with Children, Southcliff Baptist Church - Fort Worth, TX
    I had really great time at the D6 Conference. It was well worth the time and money. It was very encouraging for me to be with so many people who are passionate about family ministry. I got a lot of great ideas from the conference and have begun to implement them in my own ministry. The worship was uplifting and the time away to focus on my calling was refreshing. I was deeply moved by some of the speaker and their testimonies.”
  • Kent Nelson
    Sr. Pastor, St. Croix FWB, St. Croix, VI
    The D6 Conference was both refreshing and empowering. There is always great encouragement when you find others who are determined to make the home the center of spiritual formation. A fundamental shift is occurring in the church and D6 is leading from the front. The conference also empowered through current resources, broad networking, and creative thinking. Relevant speakers engaged our hearts and minds as they identified the problem of disconnected faith and then equipped us like an army for the frontline battle.”
  • Philip Biles
    Children’s Pastor, Lake Hills Church, Austin, TX
    Wow! What an amazing conference focused on one theme! It was such a great opportunity to bring my whole team to be affirmed in our passion to helping families become the spiritual leaders. We have been discussing as a team ideas we learned for several months after the conference and are seeing God do amazing things in our families. We can't wait until next year to restock our ministry shelf with more practical ideas!”
  • Gail Miller
    Director of Children Ministries, North Dallas Community Bible Fellowship, Richardson, TX
    The D6 Conference gave our church staff resources that are significantly changing the way we do ministry. We are turning our ministry focus from solely creating dynamic children’s, youth, and young adult ministries that work in isolation to collaborating to partner with and support parents...making them the heroes who point their young people to the Savior! We plan to return to the conference and bring more ministry leaders!”
  • Janette Jones
    Children's Coordinator, Nappanee Missionary Church
    The key word I heard at D6 was "intentional." I loved the whole idea of being intentional, whether it is in our church programming or helping parents to see how they can be more involved spiritually with their children in their homes. It was good to see the different models that were out there and knowing that you can start first with what you are already doing by just changing it to have the parents as the spiritual trainers of their children. Before D6 I had a desire for parents to regain their biblical position, but wasn't for sure how to make that happen. D6 gave me examples of possibilities, challenged me to be more creative in getting parents involved, and gave me a renewed passion.”
  • Jay Strother
    Campus and Teaching Pastor of The Church at Station Hill in Spring Hill, Tennessee
    D6 feels less like a conference and more like being part of a movement that God is using to impact a generation. If you want the best place to connect with the best thinkers and strategists from the family ministry movement that go deeper than the hype, this is it.”
  • Ernie Lewis
    Sr. Pastor, Blue Point Free Will Baptist Church, Ina, IL
    I really enjoyed the D6 Conference. It was a moving reminder of how the church needs to equip parents to teach about God in the home. Each speaker gave practical tips and formulas for churches to use in reaching the whole family. It reminded us of the importance of that great institution that God ordained; the home. I also appreciate that so many good resources were available at the conference, and certainly not the least of these being D6 Curriculum. We were inspired, taught, and challenged by the great variety of speakers and sessions. Thank you to Randall House for taking this bold step and hosting a conference that was crucial to the church and the family. I enjoyed this one and plan to attend next year. I hopefully will bring some church leaders along the next time.”
  • Lonnie Morgan
    Associate Pastor, Gateway Church, NRH
    The D6 Conference was incredible. Great speakers, great vendors, great environment, and relevant information. As a children’s minister, I loved the single focus of the conference, “bringing the family back together.” It was nice to attend a conference that everyone was heading in the same direction with the same goal in mind.”
  • Kurt Bruner
    Pastor of Spiritual Formation, Lake Pointe Church Executive Director, Strong Families Innovation Alliance
    The most fertile and important mission field for evangelism and discipleship is our own children. But the statistics tell us millions growing up in Christian families right now will NOT embrace Christianity as adults. That's why I am excited that the D6 Conference seeks to inspire and equip leaders to become intentional about spiritual formation at home.”
  • Casey Cariker
    Lead Pastor, Rejoice Church, Owasso, OK
    Any leader worth their salt has always dreamed of being a vital part of something significant, a movement, a kingdom, something eternal. The great news is that D6 is accomplishing all three of these at the same time. D6 is helping me think through my walk with Christ, biblical fatherhood, and intentional leadership in Rejoice Church. So, come join the D6 movement for the kingdom of Christ and be a part of something eternal.”
  • Brian Carlson
    Director of Middle School Ministries, Woodmen Valley Chapel
    Leaders around the country are discovering that the role of the Church is not to replace parents, but to enable them to pass on the baton of faith to their own children. The D6 Conference is a strategic gathering of church leaders to develop practical, down-to-earth methods and models to see the vision of faith-driven at home thrive in ministries across this country and around the world. I hope to see you and your team there.”
  • Darin Gibbs
    Senior Pastor, First FWB Church, Gastonia, NC
    What an amazing event! The D6 Conference was a great opportunity to learn and experience how to bring parents and children together. As a dad and a minister my world was rocked! I was reminded of what true biblical parenting is all about. It was life changing for me! I highly recommend this conference to church leaders, as well as, moms and dads! Thank you, Randall House, for your efforts to change this generation!”
  • Mark Matlock

    In recent years I have made it a top priority to help youth ministers see the biblical and practical importance of equipping parents to reach the students in their own home for Christ. The D6 Conference will be an unprecedented gathering of today's most influential leaders in the world of family ministry. All will be tackling one conversation: how do we equip parents to transfer their faith and values to their kids. This is one of the most important conversations in church leadership today. I hope to see you and your team there.”
  • Dr. Richard Ross
    Professor of Student Ministry, Southwestern Seminary, Fort Worth, and the Spokesperson for the International True Love Waits Movement
    The D6 Conference is perfect timing. Some are calling the faith at home movement a mega trend. I am calling it the family tsunami. Now is the time for churches, pastors, and leaders to come together at the D6 Conference and make an intentional shift in how we train parents and disciple students.”
  • Randy Bryant
    Sr. Pastor, Ryanwood Fellowship Free Will Baptist, Vero Beach, FL
    If you are looking for insight into family ministry professionally and support for what you are doing personally, look no further than the D6 Conference. It's practical, challenging, and encouraging all at the same time.”
  • Fred Stoeker
    Best selling author of Every Man's Battle and the Every Man's Series
    Being able to play a key role in the recent purity movement has been a huge honor for me in God's kingdom, but being a husband and father to my family is one thing in my life that has topped it. As fathers, we have very little chance of passing down values like purity to our children if we don't intentionally take the necessary time to hand off the ball to them properly. This is one of the central topics in the faith at home conversation. I hope that you will join me and many other leaders, pastors, and front-liners as we meet together at D6, the gathering place for this critical movement.”
  • Renee Swope
    Executive Director, Proverbs 31 Ministries, National Speaker, Radio Co-host, and Author
    Today parents want and need to be encouraged and equipped to play the lead role in their kids' spiritual development. Deuteronomy 6 tells us that this won't happen in Sunday school alone, but happens most effectively in every day life at the crossroads of D6 moments. Proverbs 31 Ministries is excited to be part of D6, a groundbreaking conference. Join us as we gather with church leaders and ministries dedicated to helping today's moms and dads grow spiritual champions in the midst of today's hectic pace and cultural pull away from godly principles.”
  • Angela Thomas
    Best selling author of My Single Mom Life and well known speaker
    The encouragement you speak into the lives of single parents may be the difference maker in the lives of their kids. I know, because I have been on the receiving end of that encouragement myself. As leaders and ministers, we have an important job to equip and encourage single parents. The D6 Conference is hitting this critical issue head on.”
  • Larry Taylor
    Head of School, Prestonwood Christian Academy
    I am very excited about the D6 Conference and the entire purpose of this ministry. I believe with all of my heart that simple steps of honoring what the D and the 6 stand for could transform churches and any ministry dealing with training the next generation. Will our children and grandchildren have the faith of their parents? The D6 Conference addresses this question biblically and strategically. Parents are the key. Families are the cornerstone to God's plan of connecting our faith to the next generation.”
