Family Group Description

Family Group is a sub-community of Koinonia focused on a gospel-centered community open to students of all ethnicities who desire to participate in a fellowship primarily dedicated to the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) experience. It is for students to commune and fellowship with one another, explore Asian identity in light of the Gospel, and grow together in the image of Christ. Students who participate in Family Group can expect an intimate, casual environment centered on shared meals, storytelling, and honest conversations. Family groups are a place to build a "home" beyond surface-level conversations, where every student feels seen, known, and supported.

Family Group Leaders are responsible for hosting weekly meetings and providing proactive care for their members. This role is for those who are "rooted" in their own relationship with God and eager to lead others from an overflow of that love.
Key Responsibilities:

● Use your insights from FG trainings to guide casual yet deep conversations about heritage, faith, and campus life.

● Actively learn the stories and passions of your members

● Support Koinonia’s mission of AAPI advocacy and discipleship through consistent presence at Koinonia and large group events.

● Maintain integrity in administrative tasks, including timely communication regarding member needs and reimbursement requirements.

Expectations:

● Family Group Leaders are required to report to Koinonia’s Family Group Director

● Family Group Leaders are required to attend monthly training meetings.

● Family Group Leaders are required to attend the OMD Christmas Banquet on Saturday, December 12th, 2026, 6 to 8 pm, Coray, and the OMD Spring Banquet on Saturday, May 1st, 2027, 6 to 8 pm, Coray
