Randall House

What Randall House does

Randall House is a non-profit Christian publishing and ministry organization founded in 1963 and based in Nashville, Tennessee, with 11-50 employees. Operating primarily through its D6 Family Ministry division, the organization provides family discipleship resources to churches, families, and ministry leaders in the United States. Its core offering is the D6 Curriculum, a backward-design family discipleship curriculum spanning all age groups from nursery through adult, supplemented by the Elements Kids Worship children's ministry curriculum and the First Steps Nursery Program. Age-specific discipleship journals (Cuddle Time for preschoolers through Fusion Generations for adults) round out the curriculum layer.

The organization's business model rests on four revenue streams: recurring curriculum licensing to churches, one-time book and publication sales across categories including family ministry, parenting, marriage, theology, and life issues, conference revenue from the D6 Northwest, D6 Southeast, and Vertical Three events, and small booklet sales covering faith milestones. Its technology layer comprises the D6 Parent App (iOS and Android), the D6 Homepoint online platform, and the Vertical Three youth ministry platform, complemented by the D6 Academic Journal and the D6 Podcast as thought-leadership channels. Distribution occurs through direct e-commerce storefronts (store.d6family.com and store.randallhouse.com), phone-based church licensing sales, mobile app stores, and on-site conference channels.

Go-to-market combines product-led growth (curriculum and resource sales), event-driven engagement (D6 Conferences), and community-led development (church and family ministry ecosystem). Marketing leverages blog content, email newsletters (Top Reads), podcasting, and active social media presence across Facebook, X, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The organization accepts donations via d6hero.com/give/, consistent with its non-profit status. No revenue, funding, or ownership details are publicly disclosed.

Others

Direct peers

• David C Cook: Major evangelical publisher producing Sunday school and children's ministry curriculum (e.g., Tru, Wondermore) that competes head-to-head with D6 Curriculum for church curriculum budgets across age bands.
• Group Publishing: Direct competitor in children's and family ministry curriculum (FaithWeaver NOW, Gracelink) and a major conference operator (Children's Ministry Conference), closely paralleling D6's curriculum-plus-events model.
• The reThink Group (Orange): Family-ministry strategy provider (Orange Curriculum, 252 Kids, First Look) explicitly built around integrating church and home for family discipleship — the closest philosophical and product analogue to D6.
• Standard Publishing: Long-standing Christian publisher of Sunday school curriculum, VBS, and children's ministry materials (Teach Kids!) that competes with D6 and Elements Kids Worship for church adoption.
• Walk Thru the Bible: Bible-focused ministry offering children's curricula and family devotionals along with live events, comparable in scope to D6's curriculum-plus-conference model in the family-discipleship category.
• Parent Cue (reThink/Orange): Free parent-facing app and devotional content from Orange that directly competes with the D6 Parent App for in-home family-discipleship mindshare among church-attending families.

Broad incumbents

• Lifeway Christian Resources: Publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention producing Bible study and discipleship curriculum for all ages, alongside books, camps, and events — a broader incumbent competing with D6 on the curriculum side.
• Gospel Publishing House: Publishing arm of the Assemblies of God producing Sunday school curriculum (SSPTS), children's ministry resources, and books, overlapping with D6's denominational curriculum offering.

Emerging players

• Abiding Media (RightNow Media): Streaming Bible-study and family-discipleship video library adopted by thousands of US churches, an adjacent digital channel competing for ministry-content budgets alongside D6's app and curriculum.
