For Churches and Partnership
You cannot build a life-changing church alone
17:6 brings churches into trusted relationships built around shared biblical convictions, Kingdom values, leadership development, and a commitment to multiplying life-changing churches.
More Than Access to Programs
A relational network with a shared way of life.
17:6 is more than a resource provider or pastors' association. It is a relational network of churches committed to a shared mission and way of life.
Partner churches work toward common biblical values, develop people and leaders, encourage one another, share practical wisdom, collaborate in ministry, and invest together in the future. Partnership deepens over time as pastors and churches grow in alignment, relationship, contribution, and their ability to cultivate a life-changing church culture.

A Pathway of Growing Participation
Partnership develops in stages.
Begin with a conversation.
Church partnership is relational and develops over time. The next step is not an application form alone. It is a conversation with a network leader about your church, your hopes, and whether 17:6 may be a good fit.
