Need Advice for my Major!

Picking classes can be a stressful time, whether you’re a freshmen or a senior, whether you’re an MCB major or an EECS major. And even if you pick the right class, you’ll find out soon enough that the right professor can make or break a course. In order to navigate [...]

Welcome Week Activities!

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008 - Events

TODAY: NSWN #2 - Look above…
[Zoom: Click the image below!]

Welcome week is notoriously boring. Really. Boring. That’s why the school’s shortened it this year to just two days. That way people still manage to keep their sanity and not get too discouraged by their university experience before it even begins. Don’t worry though: Koinonia’s got a solution! We have welcome week activities throughout the first week of school. Some are just pure fun (ultimate frisbee!), others are exploratory (go to the cool eats around town), and some are [...]

Join a Smallgroup!

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008 - smallgroups

[ Sign up HERE! ]

Small groups meet to talk, hang out, and journey through college together. It’s a place where engineers talk to english majors, vegans and carnivores sit down at the same table, southern Californians and northern Californians have the same classes… Seriously, though, we’re all looking for friends, a place to belong, a safe place to ask our questions or unload our problems. Smallgroups do that. We have regular mid-week gatherings that usually start with a mouth-watering meal followed by a meaningful discussion and always some fun time of just hanging out. So watch the [...]

Koinonia @ Austin has started!

Sunday, July 20th, 2008 - Events

It’s hard to believe, but Pastor Manny & Sunny, Henry & Margaret, and Bryan & Sarah and others are already in Austin… living there!  Although it seems like it was just yesterday that they played basketball at the RSF, gave messages at the Lipman Room, and we were in their living rooms hanging out together, they’re no longer in Berkeley.  They’re in Austin!

Officially registered as a student group now, Koinonia at UT Austin is for real, on campus, serving the student community and giving the gospel to the people they’re meeting.  Let’s pray for them and remember [...]

SET: Reason for God

Saturday, June 28th, 2008 - Training

This summer, we’ve been reading through Timothy Keller’s Reason for God. The book is a product of Dr. Keller’s 20 years of ministry as pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Keller articulates the questions, objections, and skepticism towards God and the Christian faith from hundreds of conversations he’s had.  He boils it down to seven major questions:

  • There can’t be just one true religion
  • A good God could not allow suffering
  • Christianity is a straitjacket
  • The church is responsible for so much injustice
  • A loving God would not send people to hell
  • Science has disproved Christianity
  • You can’t take the [...]
