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 ( ὁ δ ό ς) 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.
