I yearn to come and be face-to-face with you and get to know you. For I long to impart to you some spiritual gift that will empower you to stand strong in your faith. Now, this means that when we come together and are side by side, something wonderful will be released. We can expect to be co-encouraged and co-comforted by each other’s faith!

Romans 1:11, 12 TPT

The OIKEOS Christian Network offers people around the world a variety of activities and connective learning opportunities so that they can find a “custom fit” that helps them in our walk together in newness of life.

 

Here’s what some folks are saying:


“People need to decide what is fulfilling for them. We have very elastic options for people seeking to learn more about God. Like in a network, people respond to different channels.”


The options include online biblical courses, live inter-active courses, in-person and videoconferencing (Zoom) fellowships, and an extensive library of recorded teachings on essential topics—all available without any charge.


“What helped us connect with other believers in our region was running Our Identity in Christ course over a four-month period. We started with the first two modules at our home, then the following month we went to another couple’s home for two modules, and then to another home and another home so that everyone hosted one weekend. Lives are changed when believers are together. The light of God’s Word is more illuminating because individuals are together. God set it up that way. No one person is smart enough on his own to figure out everything in life. The only way for believers to really function is to function together.”


Recently, in South Carolina, believers from several states met for a weekend of meals, activities, and teachings.


“Being together at times like this helps to elevate our thinking so that we realize how much God is making available. Over a period of time, when you keep getting together and you keep hearing God’s Word, you realize it has helped deepen your commitment to the things of God.”


“These gatherings are times to give as well as receive. It’s an occasion to refresh relationships. It really is the best thing this side of the gathering together. You sense the presence of God, and you get a glimpse of eternity.”
