 Koinonia Groups

The early Church was known for its friendships, referred to as koinonia (Acts 2:42). This word for fellowship is based on the word koine, for “common.” They shared a common life.

As we encourage this Christ-based intimacy at Apostles, we are forming groups that will meet bimonthly for Scripture-based study and prayer; acting as a springboard for other fellowship activities, such as meals among families and friends.

Some groups will meet in homes, others at the church. Each group will have around 6-8 members (a minimum of four; no more than 12) which meet on the “off” weeks of the men’s and women’s Bible studies, with a variety of time and day offerings, all under the guidance of two trained co-leaders, as groups discuss John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way. Women also have the option of participating in a koinonia group through the Tuesday morning and Wednesday night Bible Study (with discussion based on the lesson, rather than the Comer book), or of doing both!

For now, these will be men’s and women’s groups. This simplified approach will help us in launching this program, but we have an eye to offering mixed gender groups in the future.

While the morning and noon groups will meet throughout the week, evening groups will meet as follows: men, Sundays and Thursdays; women, Sundays and Wednesdays.

Registration is open through August 8

Assignments will be released by the end of August, with the first week beginning with Rally Day, September 7.
