Koinonia Church

What Koinonia Church does

Koinonia Church is a private, non-profit Christian church headquartered at 12536 Hanford-Armona Road in Hanford, California, founded in 1984 and operating with 51-100 employees. The church delivers weekly worship services across four Sunday time slots (8:30am, 10:30am, 12:30pm, and a 2:30pm Spanish-language service) both in-person at its physical campus and online via Vimeo streaming. Its service portfolio extends well beyond worship into a comprehensive ministry ecosystem covering the full demographic lifecycle: The Zone Children's Ministry (Grades 0-4), Preteen Ministry (Grades 5-6), IMPACT Student Ministry (Jr.High and High School), Young Adults, MarriedLife, Men's and Women's ministries, Family Ministry, Freedom Ministries, and Personal Growth Groups. JOURNEYgroups, the church's small-group program, is positioned as the primary vehicle for spiritual growth and relationship building, functioning as the church's core community-engagement product.

The church's technology footprint is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Vimeo powers live streaming and on-demand video, note.church provides interactive sermon notes, and a dedicated video archive site (video.kchanford.com) hosts sermon content alongside a podcast archive. Leadership development is formalized through the Koinonia School of Ministry (KSM), Emerging Leader Summit, and Prophetic Summit, while community outreach includes Missions & Outreach programs and the Kings Food Pantry. The church also operates Iglesia de Koinonia as a dedicated Spanish-language congregation with its own Children's Ministry and Learning Center, serving the bilingual Hanford community.

Koinonia's business model is 100% donation-funded: services, small groups, children's programs, and online streaming are all free, with revenue derived from voluntary tithes and offerings collected during services and through an online giving platform. There are no fees, no commercial customers, and no disclosed financial data. The church is privately held with no parent organization, no external investors, and no funding rounds. Geographic expansion is underway, with a second campus in Selma, California scheduled to open in 2026.
