Event Details
Oikos National Gathering is an exciting bi-annual event that brings the OIKOS Tribe from across Australia and new friends together for an inspiring time to cheer each other on in the simple church/ house church journey and for those wanting to be more effective in making new disciples.
We are in an unprecedented time in church history, with God's kingdom breaking out and we are apart of this exciting movement. This is an open gathering - that you will not want to miss. As we share together in interactive ways - we are excited to be hosted at the Canberra YWAM Base - in the political center of our Nation. Its a time for renewal, revival, and prayer together for what God is allowing OIKOS to partner with Him in - seeking His Kingdom First - Matt 6:33
Our gatherings connect people from all walks of life and ages. There will be some special sessions for children & youth. It's an opportunity to share together simple and effective ways to make disciples and grow simple/home churches. Come along and be inspired by a vision and simple stories, learn some practical tools and methods, and enjoy connections with others on the same journey.
