Open for comment. This is an alpha (sandbox) page for D12 Diamond Nurturing System.

D12 Diamond Nurturing System is a paradigm for nurturing a healthy church, more commonly known as simply D12 in English-speaking countries, it is also known as the Twowings Nurturing System or D12 Nurturing System.

It was originated by Dr. Sung Gon Kim of Pungsunghan Church, Busan, Korea, in late 1990s. With six pillars of Evangelism, Settlement, Nurture, Discipleship Training, Soldiership Training, and Reproduction, it was created to provides a systematic model for a comprehensive ministry among Protestant churches to help reach the goals of Natural Church Development. Currently, this is being adopted by many churches in more than 18 countries.

Expansions in United States
Since 2005, D12 has been adopted mostly by Korean American churches with Presbyterian and Baptist affiliations. Some churches, especially in Eastern and Western parts of the U.S., have experienced noticeable growth since fully adopting this system. All Nations Dream Church (previously known as Ohnnuri Baptist Church), in particular, has seen a significant growth by adopting this model, and this church has become a hub for Midwest and Eastern states to train other Korean American churches in this model.
