Oikos Church

What Oikos Church does

Oikos Church is a non-profit Christian church headquartered at 8 Malland Street, Myaree, in Perth, Western Australia, founded in 1992. It was birthed from the Indonesian Family Church and serves a bilingual congregation through parallel English and Indonesian worship services on Sundays, with supplementary ministries for children, teenagers, and young adults. The church is led by Senior Pastor Daniel Ong and his wife Karen Ong, alongside lead-minister couples overseeing the English Service (Gershom and Kartika Ong) and the Indonesian Service (David and Caroline Ciputra). Beyond Sunday gatherings, Oikos runs a youth service (TNT) every Friday evening, a young adults ministry (Cornerstones) every Tuesday evening, children's church programs, small groups, and recurring events such as the TNT 2026 camp.

The church's product surface is built around weekly worship gatherings delivered in person across three Perth locations (Myaree, Murray Street, and Hay Street) and digitally via dedicated YouTube live-stream channels for English and Indonesian services. Supporting services include the OC Cafe (specialty coffee before and after services), email newsletters, an events platform, and an online giving mechanism that accepts direct bank transfers (BSB 066-163, ACC 1071 2658). Technology infrastructure is modest and built on common consumer platforms — YouTube, Instagram, Squarespace-hosted website, and email — rather than proprietary systems.

The business model is donation-driven: Oikos does not charge for services or participation, and all operating revenue is derived from voluntary tithes and offerings by congregants, supplemented by a small transactional stream from OC Cafe. Go-to-market is community-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on word-of-mouth, organic social media (two Instagram accounts — @oikosperth and @ifcperthoikos), YouTube discoverability, and in-person hospitality to attract and retain members across both language communities in the Perth metropolitan area.
