The early Church was known for its friendship, referred to as koinonia (Acts 2.42). This word for fellowship is based on the word koine, for “common.” They shared a common life.
SIGN UP FOR FALL KOINONIAS NOW THROUGH AUGUST16
To learn more about women's Koinonia groups, please contact Deacon Lisa Wheeler.
To learn more about men's Koinonia groups, please contact Mr Hoyt Burnett.
We encourage spiritual friendship at Apostles through multi-generational, single-gender groups that 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 meet in homes, others at the church, each under a trained leader or two. Each group consists of 6-8 members (a minimum of four; no more than 12), with groups meeting on different days and at different times. The study for most groups this fall is “The Beatitudes” using a study guide written by John Stott. Women also have the option of participating in a koinonia group through the Tuesday morning and Wednesday night Bible Study on Hebrews, which meets on alternating weeks of the Beatitudes groups. Many women participate in both kinds of koinonias.
