Get Connected

There are a lot of ways to connect with us at Koinonia and we’re glad you want to connect! If you can’t make The Friday Night (TFN) Bible studies, there are a lot of other ways to plug in to Koinonia. You can always shoot us a question next door on the “Contact” page or just show up to one of the events!

>> Come to An Event

Koinonia is all about sharing life together - and that’s what we do through all the events we hold.  Check out some of our events, come hang out with us, have great food, and meet some new friends.  Sports nights, potluck dinner, play board games, trips to the Sierras, and so much more!  There’s something for everyone and it’s a great way to connect with Koinonia!
