At Koinonia, we place a strong value on families and the community we are privileged to live in. Our desire is to serve our region by impacting it in a positive way.
Family Fest is our gift to our community, and we would love to invite you to join us!
Bring your kids, neighbours and friends to our campus for some free food, a great music & dance program, and some fun attractions including a carousel, a massive inflatable slide, free face painting, a Western Bucking Bull for anyone who’s brave enough to try, and the Ultimate Rock Wall.
We’ve been hosting this picnic for a number of years now with over 300 volunteers annually, and we hope that you can enjoy time together with your family in the (hopefully) beautiful summer weather, meet someone new from your local area, relax and just have some fun!

change is elusive.
Have you ever tried to change something in your life, only to have things return back to normal? I mean, sure you started out pretty determined, but after a while, you settled back in and nothing really changed. Scary when you consider that God has called us to be agents of His change in the world. The choices we make in life are essential to change – but lasting change never comes by simply making the right choices. It’s a lot deeper than going through the motions of doing the “right things.” Real change begins with a transformation in our belief system about who we are. Lasting change flows from our being. rise & BE the change.
Register for Altitude this year and be empowered in your call.
Press On,
Paul Dunk
Guest Speaker: Mark Schilling
Mark and his wife Stephanie are the student pastors at Redeemer Church with campuses in Utica and Albany, NY. Mark is passionate about life and helping young people find a relationship with Christ, discover their mission and prepare for the life that God has made available. Mark is also an avid runner and loves helping and serving his community.
Conference Hosts: Paul & Susan Dunk
Paul has been on staff at Koinonia since 1995. He directs SLI (Servant Leadership Institute) for high school grads and serves as the youth & young adults pastor, using creative ways to communicate truth and empower the church to make a difference in their culture. Susan served as director of KiDZONE Urban Ministries in Kitchener for 14 years before transitioning it to the team she built, and now teaches leadership to corporate teams using biblical worldview with her new company, in2possibility.

We have a blast with great activities like swimming, hiking, sports, games, a wet ‘n’ wild slide, cool crafts, campfires and great surprises… but the most important part of camp is our chapel times where we encourage the kids to come expecting God to speak to them.

All kids completing Grades 4-6 are welcome!
