Subject: [B-Greek] OIKOS as an extended "family"

I have been doing a little research into a church growth philosophy, and
they make a big claim about OIKOS as the Greek word for "extended family"
but ALSO denoting "8-15 people in our relational world"-as in co-workers,
close friends, classmates. I have been trying to look in BDAG and LSJ and
find no support for OIKOS as "close relational world" outside of actual
genetic closeness or the ones who live in your household. I.e., not
"extended household" but rather simply "household" (with reference to people
rather than buildings). Is anyone aware of contexts in which such an
"relational world" meaning would make the best sense? I have a feeling I
should relegate this one to the N.T. Greek Urban Legends. But I'm willing to
hear evidence otherwise.
