About us

        "Koinonia" is a Greek word that translates to "fellowship" or "communion." It is often used in a Christian context to describe the close, intimate relationship and shared life among believers. This concept encompasses not just social interaction but also spiritual unity, mutual support, and participation in the life of the community and with God. In broader terms, it can refer to any kind of close association or partnership among people.

 

​        Here at Koinonia Mission Foundation (KMF), we are dedicated to sharing close spiritual unity through supporting missionaries and being the hands and feet for Jesus out in the field. Coming soon, our board members will be the bridge to bring mission teams to Japan starting 2025. Our vision is to have a mission retreat and cafe center in Osaka Japan to allow many more to experience mission in Japan. Together, we hope to saturate the land with the Gospel to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). 

Statement of Faith

The Bible

        We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the fully inspired and authoritative Word of God—completely trustworthy and divinely given. As it is written in 2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” Therefore, we gladly submit to the authority of Scripture in all matters of faith, doctrine, and life, holding fast to it as the unchanging and eternal Word of God.​​​

 

Trinity

        We believe in the one true God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19–20). Each person of the Trinity is fully God, distinct in role yet united in essence and attributes.

        God the Father
       God the Father is sovereign over all creation (Psalm 103:19), omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent (Ephesians 4:6). He is the source of all things, full of grace, compassion, and steadfast love (Psalm 145:8–9), and relates to us as a loving Father (2 Corinthians 6:18).

        God the Son – Jesus Christ
        Jesus Christ, the eternal Son, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:23). Fully God and fully man (John 1:1), He lived without sin, died as our substitute (Philippians 2:6–8), rose again, ascended to heaven, and now mediates for us (1 Timothy 2:5). He will return in glory to complete His redemptive work.

        God the Holy Spirit
        The Holy Spirit indwells every believer at conversion (1 Corinthians 12:7,13), convicts the world of sin, and leads believers into truth (John 16:8,13). He sanctifies and empowers us for obedience and God’s glory (1 Peter 1:2).

        We worship the one true and living God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—forever blessed and glorious. Amen.

 

Salvation

        We believe salvation is God’s gracious work of reconciling sinners to Himself through Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 5:9–10). It is entirely by grace, received through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8–9). Before creation, God chose a people in Christ, not based on merit but purely by grace (Ephesians 1:4–6). 

        The Gospel is the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection for our salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). Though proclaimed to all (Matthew 28:19–20), only those who believe by grace will be saved (John 3:36). Salvation is by grace alone and faith alone—God’s unearned gift, received by trusting in Christ (Ephesians 2:8).

        Regeneration is the Spirit’s work of bringing new life, awakening faith and repentance in the heart (John 3:3–8; Titus 3:5). Faith trusts in Christ’s redemptive work (Romans 10:9); repentance turns from sin to God (Acts 2:38). Together, they mark true conversion (Acts 20:21). Through faith, believers are justified—declared righteous—by Christ’s atoning blood (Romans 5:1).

        Sanctification is the ongoing process of becoming holy (1 Thessalonians 4:3), following the one-time act of justification. Good works are the fruit—not the basis—of salvation (Ephesians 2:10; James 2:17), and they show genuine faith. True believers will persevere in holiness to the end (Matthew 24:13).

        Through Christ, believers are adopted as God’s children and heirs (Romans 8:15–17), united with Him in life, death, and resurrection (Galatians 2:20). To Christ be all glory forever. Amen!
