Koinonia Groups are small groups of high schoolers and adult leaders who are actively seeking more depth in community, formation, and missionary discipleship.
Koinonia Groups are designed for teens who find themselves seeking to go deeper in their faith. If you're wondering how to live as a Catholic in the world today, how to strengthen your prayer life, or what Jesus wants for your life, then Koinonia groups may be a great way to get started!
Koinonia Groups are made up of 4-8 members. These groups are intended to be a place to form deep and lasting bonds with close friends. They are created within a local community or neighborhood to help foster authentic relationships both within and separate from scheduled group activities. Koinonia Groups provide a space to be intentionally formed and sent as a missionary disciple of Jesus Christ.
