Host Koinonia in my home. I can accommodate people.

The host will not be responsible for any food preparation. Hosts only prepare their homes for Koinonia and have drinks and dinnerware ready. Hosts work with their co-hosts to move the meeting along smoothly and help the other members of the group feel welcome.

Co-host

Co-hosts coordinate potluck meals for the group (who brings what) and lead the scheduling of group meetings. Along with the hosts, co-hosts lead the group in moving the meeting along smoothly. This is usually the area of most need because it can be a challenging role. Please also read about some ways to get your Koinonia group off to a great start.

Bring food.

Which do you prefer?

Information to help your group's co-host:

Please place me in a group, but notify my group's co-host that I expect to have limited availability between now and January.

I have a dietary restriction that I need my Koinonia group to accommodate.

What is Koinonia?

At DaySpring we often talk about transformation... being transformed through worship, through prayer, and through service. Being in relationship with others is another way of being transformed, and the central part of Koinonia is knowing one another on a deeper level.

Koinonia is a way to build relationships with other members of our church family. We meet in small groups once a month to eat potluck meals together and to get to know one another. The only item on the agenda is to get past small talk and learn how to care about each other.

Each meeting usually consists of:

A typical Koinonia group has 10-12 people in it. One person or couple hosts all of the meetings at their home. Another person or couple helps the hosts by communicating with everyone in the group about meeting times and what to bring to each potluck. Everyone else in the group brings food to meetings and tries to communicate with the co-host about their own availability.
