Most parents want to be involved in the spiritual development of their kids’ lives. They just don’t know where to begin.

Parents are involved in sports, homework and hygiene, but many parents find it challenging to connect with their children when it comes to their faith.

Unfortunately, many people rely on the pastor, Sunday school teacher, or youth pastor to be the primary spiritual influence for our kids. The problem is we only spend, at most, four hours a week at church. What about the other 164 hours?

D6 tells us this is the primary job and responsibility for dads and moms.

Bring your ministry team, key leaders, volunteers and parents to D6… you won’t want to miss it as we explore answers to these FAQs together!

Children’s ministry is amazing and it’s hard to find one person that everyone will connect with, so we invited many of the world’s finest. We invited young leaders because we believe that God is raising up new fresh leaders that aren’t afraid to take chances. We invited the experienced because we believe that they have so much successful (and some not-so-successful) knowledge and advice that we can learn from. We strongly believe in the local church and this is why we invited local church children’s pastors to speak. These are the men and women actually doing the ministry not just talking about it.

For the fifth year in row, thousands of leaders will gather in Atlanta to talk, not only about what they are learning, but what they feel compelled to do about it.

Some have created unique churches.
Some have sacrificed immensely to rescue those in crisis.
Some have launched innovative ministries.
Some have recently stepped out of their comfort zone,
to start over.

They are pastors, leaders, parents, educators, and innovators who have a burning passion for the faith of the next generation.

We want to invite you to join them.
