About Us

Oikos is a Greek word used all over the New Testament that means home or family. It captures who we are and our life together as a church. 

As you read the Gospels, you’ll discover that Jesus is either going to a home, at a home, or coming from a home in nearly every chapter. Homes and tables are key aspects to his ministry. It’s that way in the book of Acts, too. The early church broke bread together in their oikos (Acts 2:42). They took the gospel from oikos to oikos, house to house (Acts 5:42). Nearly every conversion story was connected to an oikos. 
When the Apostles described the identity of the church, they kept returning to the word, oikos. 

We are “God’s oikos, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). We are “fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his oikos” (Ephesians 2:19). We are a “spiritual oikos, a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). 

Taking the Gospel Home
Oikos isn’t just our name; it’s how we do life together. We want to bring the gospel home. Like Jesus and the early church, homes and tables are central to what we do. From the Lord’s Table on Sundays, to group life, and leadership meetings and ministry events, we tend towards home. We’re not a church that just worships together on Sundays. We bring the gospel home.
