    About Us

    OIKEOS Christian Network exists to help you know your identity in Christ and live it every day.

    The OIKEOS Christian Network is a community and platform that serves as a daily companion and tool for believers to access and utilize, offering Scripture-based identity affirmations, practical instruction for recognizing and countering worldly voices, and community support to reinforce their true identity in Christ. It’s not just an app or a program—it’s a transformative pathway to living authentically as the person God created you to be.

    What Makes Us Different

    We facilitate a transformative pathway to living as the person God created you to be.

    Our Mission

    LEARN | Respecting the wisdom of God’s design in all things

    All true learning starts with respect for God. Discover what the Bible reveals about your Creator’s works and what He made you to be in Christ.

    (Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10)

    Your life is worth sharing. Our love and awe for God shows in the way we treat others. Mutual love and respect for people promotes meaningful, lasting relationships where grace prevails over worldly judgments.

    (Acts 2:42-47)

    Living and serving in your God-given calling with faith and confidence through Christ. Your personal journey has a God-given purpose. You grow into knowing that your heavenly Father is backing you every step of the way.

    (Ephesians 4:16)

    Our Story

    In pursuit of a Christian environment where each person can contribute and benefit.

    The core team of OIKEOS shares a common background as ministers. Though we have come from different Christian denominations, organizations, and movements, we have arrived at a similar conclusion. Each of us spent decades navigating religious expectations and subtle performance-based lifestyles in systems that often-fostered competition, judgment, and a business-like model of Christian community. When we began to truly understand the grace of God and our identity in Christ, we were able to move on to a more organic, Spirit-led fellowship as described in the book of Acts.

    Our stories are unique yet deeply intertwined through the Holy Spirit and our love for God and His Son, Jesus Christ. We claim no earthly recognition before God who called us, nor before those we serve, even though many of us hold substantial experience and credentials in biblical studies, teaching, preaching, worship leadership, healing, and mentoring. Together, we are committed to cultivating a Christian environment shaped by mutual faith, genuine love, and the freedom to contribute as God leads. We invite you to join us on this ongoing journey of living God’s grace and discovering your God-given identity—always.

    OIKEOS Defined

    The name OIKEOS is taken from the Greek word for household and also can be translated family.

    “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household [oikeios] of faith.”

    Galatians 6:10
