If you do, you're going to love this page. Especially if you're one of those who MUST read the instructions before starting anything.. Or, you just like to know what kind of trouble you're getting yourself into. First rule, have fun!
The OutCast Network (OCN) is a community focused on bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth through practical, relational ways. Inspired by the book of Acts, we aim to be the Church by loving, living, and sharing as disciples. We believe a global move of God can start in our homes. With God, all things are possible for those who trust and believe.
In these volatile times, we strive to live wholeheartedly for Jesus, following the example of the early apostles. Our spiritual forefathers partnered with the Holy Spirit to bring Heaven to Earth, and we aim to equip and disciple believers to do the same.
OCN welcomes anyone seeking a place where they are celebrated as God sees them, including those hurt or judged by religion. We reject a victim mentality and believe in becoming victorious through our true God-given identity. OCN offers a loving, Christ-centered community for shameless healing and Kingdom-minded fellowship.
Through collaboration with like-minded “Friends of the Network,” we provide biblical equipping, fellowship, and events to encourage, strengthen and comfort believers. We seek to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth through biblical principles that activate God's transformative love. We uphold God's mercy and grace through Christ's unlimited love, celebrating and reflecting the heart of the Heavenly Father.
As part of God's plan, we commit to bringing His Kingdom to the OCN Community, equipping the body of Christ with tools for safe fellowship and experiencing God's power and peace.

.. God is Spirit without beginning or end; God is pure love.
.. that all sin is first against God.
.. that the kindness and love of God, the Father, leads to repentance.

.. that we are fruit inspectors, not judges.
.. that Jesus Christ paid for all the sins of the world by his sacrificial life offering on the cross so that we might be restored to our true identity as sons and daughters of His Father.
.. that our future is secure in the resurrection power in the once and for all blood sacrifice of Christ and we’ve been given His authority to defeat the enemy.

OutCast Gathering Preamble:
The OutCast Gathering is a Christian fellowship of adult
men and women who share the common bond of serving
and loving God. We celebrate and honor the diversity of
each individuals God given callings and giftings along
with the unique message God has deposited in each of us
for His glory and other peoples benefit. By encouraging
one another in our distinct God given identities, we
champion together to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to
Earth.
The only requirement for attendance is a genuine desire
to become more Christ like in our personal walk and to
help others do the same.
Community Accountability:
As sons and daughters of God, we acknowledge our imperfection and follow Matthew 18:15-17 for accountability:
- Address faults privately first.
- If unresolved, bring one or two others into the discussion for resolution.
- If unresolvable, bring it to the OCN community leaders.
Applying this Biblical process lovingly ensures a safe community for all as we all progress toward perfection in Christ.
The OutCast Network is designated by the State of Maine
as a Church and established with the IRS as a 501 (c)3
organization.
The OutCast Network/Gathering is not affiliated with any
