HISTORY:
More than a year before the 15:6 ministry was formed, God burdened members of Gainsville for the lack of college students and single adults; specifically the Millennial Generation (born approximately between the years of 1980 and 2000). Understanding the power of prayer, a small prayer group formed and met weekly. This group prayed for God’s guidance in reaching a generation that appears to be vanishing from our churches. In addition to praying for God’s guidance, prayers focused on attributes that align with biblical principles. God has answered and continues to answer prayers concerning 15:6.
