An annual sustaining membership organization, “The Common Ground Family,” was established by the Board of Directors of Koinonia in 1990. Membership is open to individuals, familes and business/corporate donors.  A minimum annual gift of $250 to Koinonia is a basic requirement of membership.  Members are also asked to be Koinonia advocates and supporters within their churches and communities as they are able.

Koinonia hosts a “Common Ground Family” recognition dinner every year. Details will be posted on the website and mailed to let members know the date and time.

Gifts from individuals and families are most important to Koinonia’s future. Although financial support from congregations is anticipated, a greater portion of gift income will need to come from individual donors.  Koinonia’s ministry has much potential to grow.  The Common Ground Family can provide funding for that growth when combined with strong congregational support.  Although The Common Ground Family does not include congregations, churches may participate in membership efforts in a number of ways: Host a Koinonia Sunday at your church, distribute Koinonia brochures, promote our website, encourage members to consider the Common Ground Family as a special mission outreach opportunity each year.
