Our Vision: Encouraging students to pursue the fullness of Christ
Our college students are the politicians, business leaders, and teachers of tomorrow. We want
them to gain a full understanding of the Christian faith today so they can carry a biblical
worldview into their future careers.
Koinonia strives to have a God glorifying impact on the Clarion University campus and on the
Clarion County community.

Our Mission:

To share the transforming power of Christ with the Clarion University community.
To establish students in a maturing faith in Christ.
To equip students to embrace a lifestyle of servant leadership.
To send out students who model the life changing love of Christ, impacting the church,
community and world.

Our History:
Koinonia began in 1967 when a few students who were seeking growth in the Christian faith
approached some Clarion County community members for help. The small group grew from a
Bible study to a larger Christian fellowship where it became necessary to bring on staff
members.
We’ve grown leaps and bounds since those early days and our students now not only attend
Bible studies but outreach events, missions trips, conferences and more. Thousands of students
lives have been touched by Koinonia.

What’s the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO)?
Koinonia embraces the CCO mission of transforming college students to transform the world.
That’s why we partner with them in bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to the Clarion
University campus.
Along with the CCO, we share the message with our students that God cares about everything
they do – He cares about the whole picture. Our students are called to be “restorers” in the way
they perform in the classroom, play sports and even live with their roommates. With the CCO,
we show our students that God wants to be the center of everything they are involved in -- not
just their Sunday mornings.
Each year, many of our members attend Jubilee, the annual CCO conference that takes place in
Pittsburgh, Pa. We’re glad to be part of this dynamic ministry that strategically presents the
Christian faith in a way that successfully impacts and transforms today’s young people.
