Get Connected

There are a variety of ways to connect with the 17:6 Network…

Prayer


With a vision as big as “turning the world upside down,”  prayer is a major contributor to our advancement and success.  You can join in praying for the Network, the pastors and churches part of the network and next generation of leaders we are raising up.

Financial Support


If the Lord leads you or your church to contribute financially to the mission and vision of the 17:6 Network, you can send donations to:

17:6 Network

Attend a Network Event


Since 1999, members of the 17:6 Network, together with other ministry leaders in the US and overseas, have gathered in Fort Worth, TX, at least twice a year to attend conferences by Harold Bullock.  In early November, The Wisdom Conference presents a thorough layout of how an aspect of Biblical wisdom impacts daily life. In early February, the Value-Shaping Ministry Conference looks at the key components in what makes a ministry a Value-Shaping Ministry (VSM) and how to start or transition to a VSM.

Join us for the next conference to learn from the 17:6 Network founder and meet people from 17:6 Network churches.

Join the 17:6 Network

The 17:6 Network is a group of churches who voluntarily cooperate to further the Network’s vision and mission.  Ideally, the whole church sees the vision of being a multiplying, life changing church and is committed to working together toward our mission.   In our experience, the Senior Pastor is the first to see the vision and need for our mission.  It requires a great deal of intentionality and commitment from senior leadership to see a life changing culture develop in the church.  This is core to our mission.  For this reason, entry level membership in the 17:6 Network is focused on the pastor’s willingness to lead his church to give financially to further its vision and mission and to develop a life changing church culture.

It will take time for the church to gain a vision for being a life changing culture – and a longer amount of time to exhibit the culture of a life changing church.  Our goal is to provide training for staff and lay leaders to help the Pastor lead the church to become life changing.  Our current training programs are designed to help churches at various stages along the spectrum in regard to the life changing process and culture.  Therefore, 17:6 Network membership is tiered to allow the Senior Pastor to get connected and start leading his church toward becoming life changing and multiplying.  As the church gains traction in these, more training opportunities open up.
