Koinonia is a term derived from the early Christian Greek of the New Testament. The term meant "Christian Fellowship" or "to gather together for the purpose of Christian Fellowship".
The term has been adopted as the name of the ecumenical Christian movement that came from the Roman Catholic experience called Cursillo, which means "short course" in Spanish.
Koinonia is a lay group that has developed out of the ancient purpose and activity of Cursillo. Other groups that share the purpose and activity of Koinonia are recognized by different denominations by such names as: Crysallis, Kairos, Walk to Emmaus, Footsteps, Great Banquet.
Our organization has chosen the more inter-denominational term, Koinonia.
Our purpose is to maintain a deep and abiding respect for all Christian denomonations and practices of faith. It is our hope that when others experience the love of God, as we have through the Koinonia weekend, they will renew their active commitment to the congregation of their choice.
