D6 is a movement intentional about empowering parents, homes, marriages, leaders, and churches to live out the story of Deuteronomy 6.

D6 has become a community for parents and ministry leaders to be part of a conversation that is infusing discipleship in both church and home. ON TWITTER FOLLOW: @D6Family
