Koinonia is an independent, bible-believing church in the heart of East Rochester, NY. Our desire is to foster a church community where believers can belong, serve and grow. The Greek word Koinonia means “fellowship”, and our prayer is to see people growing in fellowship with the Lord and with each other. Led by Senior Pastor Ray Viola and Associate Pastor Ben Hiwale, our philosophy of ministry is to KNOW CHRIST, PROCLAIM CHRIST, GROW IN CHRIST and GLORIFY CHRIST. Knowing Christ and passionately seeking Him is what eternal life is. Our passion is to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ – across the street, across the country, across the world. Growing in Christ is not done in isolation; it is done within a community of believers who love Christ and one another. We exist as a church to bring glory to God in all that we do. The only acceptable motives for serving God are His love and for His glory.
