Koinonia Way
Our name,
Koinonia Way,
comes from two words from common (kοινή ) Greek. The first is
“koinonia” (kοινωνία) which was used to mean things like
community, communion, fellowship, joint participation.
The second Greek word
is “way” from the Greek hodos (ὁδός)
meaning a road, path, way of acting or feeling, or direction. We
believe these two words, “koinonia way,” symbolize the idea that
by combining our strengths and talents as individuals,
businesses, organizations, groups and schools, we can do things
in a way that will improve the entire community.
Our core group of
volunteers has experience working with other non-profit
organizations including churches, and community service
organizations. We have people knowledgeable about ways to use
the Internet and Social Networking to expand community visions
and increase community's resources. We also have people who have
worked with profit and non-profit organizations to help those in
need. We have organized Free Fairs (goods, produce, service were
given away free), helped small business including non-profit
businesses become legal corporations, created and managed
websites as well as social networking sites to promote ideas and
gain members and planned community events.
