Randall House Publications Now D6 Family Ministry

Randall House Publications recently received overwhelming support from Free Will Baptists to officially change its name to D6 Family Ministry. Many thought such a move happened years ago, recognizing the new name truly describes the best essence of the organization.

D6 Family Ministry (singular) represents one organization carrying out many aspects of ministry: curriculum, books, conferences, training, youth, children, adults, resources, and more. Dr. Ron Hunter stated, “We are not a publisher that does ministry; we are a ministry that also publishes. Our new name, D6 Family Ministry, comes from the biblical foundation of Deuteronomy 6, teaching generational discipleship. While our name has changed, our mission has not: Helping You Build Believers Through Church and Home.”

Monumental Progress for D6 Global in 2023

In an unparalleled display of resilience, 2023 witnessed a momentous gathering of all host nations of D6. Despite the lingering shadows of the pandemic and some countries just emerging from COVID restrictions, nations like Singapore, Malaysia, and France gathered for the first time since 2019. These countries and the United States are mirroring the promising recovery trajectory. A significant shoutout goes to D6 Korea, which reignited its mission back in 2022 and has been on an inspiring growth trajectory.

D6 Korea Director Paul Kim’s foresight and commitment to the D6 philosophy were evident. He extended a golden opportunity for pastors, offering an immersive, two-day, post-conference experience. This deep dive into the D6 philosophy and curriculum workshops illuminated the path for many into deeper, long-term discipleship.

D6 Family Ministry Leads the Curriculum Industry Again

Known for setting standards for other publishers to follow, D6 Family Ministry was recognized once again for setting trends. At the spring meeting of the Protestant Church Publishers Association, CEO Ron Hunter shared compelling reasons for the new frequency of the curriculum cycle consisting of six releases a year instead of four.

Other publishers have copied trends set by D6 Family Ministry over the last 15 years: releasing a family-aligned curriculum, using marketing language that emphasizes church and home, and moving to devotional student pieces instead of abbreviated lesson summaries. The new six-block cycle releases new books every two months, coinciding with the start of the school year and allowing people to start fresh at the beginning of the calendar year.

The new books released every two months offer the excitement and anticipation of beginning with a new devotional study guide. Bible Scholar also changed to match the same ordering and shipping schedule to make it easier on churches. D6 Family Ministry also announced a new opportunity to lock in pricing for the entire three-year scope and sequence for every church that sets up auto-
order, level-billing, or bank draft payments.

D6 Conference Expands Footprint: Now in Two U.S. Locations

D6 Family Ministry proudly announced the recent acquisition of the esteemed Northwest Ministry Conference, based in Seattle. The conference, a longstanding and prominent event, has been rebranded D6 Northwest and will continue its legacy meeting place in Seattle. This expansion means attendees now have two strategic locations to choose from: Southeast and Northwest.

This dual-location approach aims to minimize travel for participants and offer the same enriching experience regardless of the venue. Both conferences will share the annual theme, feature common speakers, provide access to the latest resources from trusted exhibitors, and boast a diverse range of breakout-seminar sessions.

If you are contemplating which event to attend, D6 suggests opting for the nearest meeting. While D6 Northwest offers a lower registration fee, attendees should consider hotel and travel expenses may be higher, especially for those from the eastern United States.
