WELCOME TO KOINONIA

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. Use the menu buttons to the left to see more specific info about our Classes, Membership, Tutors and General Information.

Koinonia is a Homeschool Support Group that has been active in the community since the early 1990’s. Back then we had just a handful of moms & kids doing group studies, but today we have expanded into a non-profit association providing academic and enrichment classes to over 100 families under the leadership of a Board of Directors.

Koinonia is a Christian organization, the purpose of which is to assist parents in their decision to home educate their children. We try and achieve this by encouraging supportive relationships between home schooling parents, helping children to build friendships with other home schooled children and providing academic classes for elementary through high school age students. Classes are administered by qualified tutors from a Christian world-view.

Koinonia is also actively involved in your child’s education through published notices of field trips, home school events, and other opportunities that a larger group can provide.

All classes take place on Mondays, with some advanced classes also held on Thursdays, from September to May at Bella Vista Church in Rockford. While not part of the Bella Vista organization, they make their facility available to us for the entire day to conduct classes. On scheduled days, we also serve a hot lunch for a nominal fee.

Are you considering home schooling or providing additional and higher academic classes that require special equipment or group participation for your child? Please drop us a line and someone will contact you to answer all your questions. Or you can call Ruth at 616-682-0578 directly.

Koinonia (Koy-no-nee'-ah) is a Greek word which means "fellowship” or “brotherly love." It carries with it the meaning of a committed, trustworthy, and dependable relationship. Such a relationship can be experienced through participation, sharing, giving, and contributing. We hope to achieve a real sense of Koinonia among our members. We encourage you to explore our group and become as involved as you are able. It is by this involvement that you will bond with other home educating families and experience the true sense of Koinonia.
