Service To Others

Hospitality

At Koinonia, hospitality has been a part of our lives since our founding. It is the one ministry that has never changed. No matter the ups and downs, we have always welcomed everyone.

Internship Program

Adults of all ages are invited to apply for three months of living and working alongside the community of Koinonia Farm. We have three terms each year — Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Sustainable Farming

We are committed to feeding the hungry physically and spiritually and we take our stewardship of the earth seriously. We work to grow healthy food in healthy soil.

Circle of Friends

We invite elders from Americus, Plains, throughout Sumter County to join the Circle of Friends. They meet regularly for fellowship, field trips, educational programs and even exercise and entertainment.

Community Services Ministry

Koinonia members, interns and sometimes our guests rotate with others from the area opening the office, greeting people, answering the phone, doing intake, and by offering friendship.

Courses & Retreats

Learning in the peaceful and beautiful setting of Koinonia Farm is a memorable time for all who participate.

Harvest of Hope

Harvest is an all-volunteer food pantry serving the poor and hungry in Americus. Once a week, Koinonia members, interns and sometimes our guests help at the pantry.

Hospitality Beyond Borders

We regularly visit Stewart Detention Center, provide and deliver backpacks with a change of clothes for those being deported and correspond with prisoners from across the United States.

Peace & Reconciliation

Whether through hosting an interfaith dialogue, teaching about Fair Trade, participating in peace efforts in Palestine and Israel, Koinonia continues to do what we can to work for peace.

Responding to the Needs and Challenges of the Times

Life events happen and our community members, both individually and collectively, respond in large and small, unnoticed and public ways. We do our best to do what good neighbors and friends do — be present.

Sowing Seeds

Koinonia has been a catalyst for the transformation of countless individuals and the creation of many organizations. It is not something we plan, but it happens here.
