The Future Of Koinonia Has Never Been Brighter!
Koinonia has been a leader in nurturing the gifts of community with each other and the earth. The Hearts on Fire capital campaign for Koinonia will ensure that the quality programs, services and facilities of Koinonia are maintained and nurtured for the future. For more than 40 years Koinonia has welcomed individuals, families, children and groups to caring service, peacefulness in pristine wilderness, recreation on trails and lakes, joy in worship and a renewed experience of community.
It’s been 25 years since our last major expansion. Our financial situation is stronger than ever, and our board and staff are committed and excited. With your help, Koinonia will continue to be a retreat and stimulus for the greater church, our children and ourselves for the future.

THANK YOU to all who pledged and made gifts to our Hearts on Fire Campaign!
2010 celebrates the end of our asking period for this campaign. We are thrilled with all the upgrades and expansion work that was made possible. We are looking forward to the remainder of the upgrades as a result of Hearts on Fire which will be the first phase of renovations to the Trailbuilding – providing new showers and restrooms for summer youth camp and year-round retreaters!
As Koinonia looks to the future and continues to build on our success with Hearts on Fire,
a new campaign is in development and will soon be announced!
