Koinonia
Sports and Fitness Association began as a
group of Christians who enjoy fellowship, the outdoors and sports. We
developed this organization in order to share our passion for sports and
fitness with others in our community and serve them by providing organized
activities that lead to physical, emotional and spiritual fitness.
We have named our selves Koinonia because this ancient Greek word means
Fellowship and fellowship with one another is our primary focus ....
We schedule activities each week.... rain,
shine or scorching heat. Monday and Wednesday we run, walk and skate
together at McKinley Park downtown after work. Every Saturday we meet
to run, walk, bike, or skate on the American River bike trail We
schedule other sports and fitness activities such as: mountain biking, kayaking,
swimming, skiing, tennis, hiking, camping, and white-water rafting through
each month as time and interest permit. We're
also open to adding other activities as our schedule permits and when there is
interest.
We also provide periodic social activities to give members
opportunities to connect with each other and form lasting friendships.
As Christians we believe that it is essential for the health of our community
for us to minister to one another through the week and maintain a positive, Christian presence in
the greater Sacramento area.
Koinonia Sports and Fitness Association is a nonprofit organization governed by a
Servant-Leadership Team.
The team is dedicated to helping people fellowship through safe, fun
activities. We hope that through the activities we organize, our
members will improve and/or maintain their health.
Our
sporting and recreational time also serves to support each other in our Christian walk
as well as sharing the Great Love of God everyone around us.
Our Evangelical mission moved
beyond the local area to a more global stage in 2006 as we embarked on a
journey together in order to help build an orphanage in Uganda for children
orphaned due to AIDS. We are working with the Wekanda family to
establish and maintain this facility. To this end, our Resurrection
Run 5k Race is dedicated.
We invite you to join us,
make new friends and
have fun too.
