Amherst Koinonia Church is a five college church. Our vision has 3 parts: To be imitators of Christ, loving others and showing them grace, just as Christ loved us; to be witnesses of Christ to others, beginning with those closest to us and extending from there to the wider world; and to keep our eyes and our hope on the kingdom that is to come, that we may live our lives on this earth boldly and purposefully for Christ.
