The Oikonomia Network is a learning community for theological educators and evangelical seminaries. Its mission is to equip theological educators and seminaries to prepare future pastors for responsibilities of pastoral ministry related to work, the economy, and cultural engagement.
Its name is derived from the Greek term used in the New Testament to refer to discipleship responsibilities ("stewardship") and also the management of the city's public treasury ("economics"). This name embodies our conviction that discipleship must be embodied in the economic sphere of life.
