About the Project

“Koinonia is a transliterated form of the Greek word κοινωνία, which refers to concepts such as communion or fellowship, joint participation, the share which one has in anything, a gift jointly contributed, a collection, a contribution.” (Wikipedia)

These songs aren’t church songs, necessarily. But they were born and raised there. For a few years I played and sang in the house band of the Koinonia worship service at First Congregational, an open and affirming church in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was a community of seekers, doubters, prophets. Fertile ground for songs of struggle and comfort.

Enjoy,
Andy
