History of Koinonia Bible College
- Koinonia Bible College is an exciting new concept in higher Christian education. Since our founding in 1991, our goal has been to provide training in the ministry by offering a wide selection of courses designed to prepare the student for practical Christian service. Our approach to education is unique in that we offer our students the skills of pastors and teachers from many different churches. In this way, the student can remain in his or her local body and still be exposed to the gifts of a wide variety of experienced ministers.Our desire is to be accessible and affordable, yet without compromising the depth of teaching. Our instructors are carefully selected for their area of expertise, as well as their spiritual commitment and knowledge of the Word.Tuition costs are purposely kept low to make education affordable to as many as possible. About half of the tuition goes directly to the instructors. The remainder covers mailing and printing costs for the college. Registration fees pay administrative and office supply costs.
- Our primary goal is to be a productive ministry to the Body of Christ. We offer quality teaching and instruction at reasonable prices. Koinonia is the Greek word for fellowship, and we feel that this word best describes the philosophy of our school: to strengthen the Body of Christ by utilizing each believer's gift to the edification of all.
Articles of Faith

- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those that are saved unto the resurrection of life and those that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
