When Discipleship Counts,
Build On Strong Foundations
Why D6?
Churches of all sizes turn to D6 for one reason: We make discipleship real. Rooted in Deuteronomy 6:5–7, our approach empowers teaching not just at church, but in homes and communities, shaping lasting values.
From Deuteronomy 6 to Psalm 78, John 15, and 2 Timothy 1:5, Scripture shows how mentors pass down biblical truths. At the D6 Conference, dynamic main-stage, practical breakout sessions, and exhibitors offer healthy insights you can use right away.
Whether you’re refining your discipleship strategy or looking for healthier ways to reach every generation, D6 equips you to ensure discipleship continues beyond Sunday.
One Conference. Two Cities.

2026 Conference Theme
The Church is built on the solid foundation of Christ, and making disciples creates opportunities for each person to establish firm foundations. This crucial, foundational layer provides the basis upon which everything else is built. The 2025 D6 Conference will help you build foundations in kids, teens, and adults of all seasons. In a culture where values often shift, grounding our homes in the timeless truths of Scripture ensures that each generation is equipped to live out their faith. Foundations highlight the necessity of building biblical values that withstand life’s challenges and foster growth in every family member. The D6 Conference will empower attendees with the knowledge and tools to create enduring, God-centered churches and homes affecting all generations. Let’s build strong foundations together.
