Koinonia is a Greek word that means Christian fellowship. At Faith, Koinonia groups are made up of seven to nine people who meet for study, prayer, and support. Meetings are usually held in members' home and leadership of the group is passed among the members. Those who wish to join a Koinonia group are asked to make a commitment to attend the group meetings and stay in the group through the first study. After finishing the first study, a member can recommit for the next study, or opt out at that time. Some Koinonia groups have been together for 20 years. At their best, Koinonia groups become close faith groups, like family. Koinonia groups are confidential. What is said in the group stays in the group to build an atmosphere of trust so members feel safe and free to talk about what's on their minds. Contact Jim Covey for more information.
