Koinonia (coy NO nyah) is a transliterated form of the Greek word, κοινωνία, which means communion, joint participation; the share which one has in anything, participation, a gift jointly contributed, a collection, a contribution, etc. It identifies the idealized state of fellowship and unity that should exist within the Christian church, the Body of Christ.

The idea of community denotes a "common unity" of purpose and interests. By engaging in this united relationship a new level of higher thinking and action emerges, thus empowering and encouraging its members to exist in a mutually beneficial relationship. Thus community and family become closely intertwined, because aiming at a common unity strives to overcome brokenness, divisiveness, and, ultimately gaining wholeness with each of the members, with their environment, and with our God. By giving mutual support, friendship and family merge. Both fellowship and community imply an inner and outer unity. Nowhere in the framework of community is there implied a hierarchy of command and control. While there is leadership, the leader’s task is to focus energy, and align interests, not impose control.  Koinonia creates a brethren bond which builds trust and, especially when combined with the values of Wisdom, Virtue, and Honor, overcomes two of humanity’s deepest fears and insecurities: being betrayed and being demeaned.  Whether working collectively or individually, the innovators of ancient Greece worked for the greater good of the whole — to propel their community forward, to share their understanding with others so that all ships would rise on a rising tide. Thus loftier goals and dreams are more easily manifested in the mind and achieved in reality. The team’s sense of Purpose became manifest.  And with this understanding we push forward and spread this lifestyle and perpetuate the kingdom as God himself designed it.  The Acts Church is a Koinonia life!
