Joy Through Generous Hospitality — the first line of Koinonia’s Vision Statement — beautifully captures the heart of our mission. Since 1942, hospitality has been at the core of Koinonia Farm. We welcome all, whether for a meal, a tour, or an extended stay. Our doors are open to individuals, families, and groups of all faiths and backgrounds, offering a peaceful space for reflection and renewal.
From short-term visits to longer stays through our Internship or Come, Stay Awhile & Serve (CSAS) programs, everyone who joins us experiences the simplicity and warmth that define life at Koinonia. Guest housing is simple, cozy, clean, and comfortable, giving you a place to relax and find peace in our community.
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. —Hebrews 13:2 (NASB)
Discover Peace in Nature
Our 575-acre farm offers plenty of spaces for quiet reflection. Wander through our beautiful orchards, meditate in the chapel, or explore the rich history that Koinonia holds. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with nature or dive into Koinonia’s vibrant story, our grounds provide the perfect sanctuary.
Community and Connection
When groups visit for youth camps, high school, or college retreats, Koinonia is a lively, joyful place filled with activities like bonfires, games, and meaningful conversations. Whether you’re here for a few hours or a few nights, you are always welcome to join our rhythm of prayer, work, study, service, and fellowship.
Extend Koinonia’s Hospitality Beyond the Farm
Our hospitality doesn’t stop at our doorstep. We carry the spirit of Koinonia wherever we go, serving communities near and far with the same generosity and kindness we show on the farm.
Whether you’re visiting for a short retreat, a family getaway, or looking to immerse yourself in a longer stay, Koinonia offers an inviting atmosphere. Ready to visit? You can easily schedule your stay or find more information on our website or by calling 229-924-0391. For long-term opportunities like the Internship or CSAS programs, applications are required.

Won’t You Help With This Important Ministry?
Since 1942, hospitality has been at the heart of Koinonia Farm. Through all the ups and downs, inviting people to stay with us, share a meal, and experience life in community has been our central ministry. There are so many ways you can support this vital work. Here are four:
1. Sponsor a Guest
At Koinonia, we never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay. Every guest receives a meal, a place to stay, and, if they wish, a tour of the farm. They’re welcome to join us for chapel, an outing, or a game night. A gift of $50 sponsors a guest for one night.
Would you consider becoming a monthly donor? $50 a month sponsors twelve guests in a year, and $25 a month helps six. Your support ensures that everyone who needs rest and renewal has the opportunity to find it here.
2. Sponsor a Community Meal
Our community meals bring together neighbors, guests, interns, staff, members and anyone in need. A gift of $100 helps cover the cost of a lunch, while $75 helps cover a dinner (lunch crowds are usually larger). Even if you can’t join us in person, your donation makes it possible to share these meals with love and care.
Monthly donors are particularly helpful. Whether it’s $100, $75, or another amount, your recurring gift ensures that plates are filled and hearts are nourished.
3. Sponsor a Guest Room
Welcoming guests year-round means keeping our spaces warm, simple, and inviting. From repairs to new sheets, towels, and furnishings, maintaining our guest rooms requires ongoing care. A gift of $500 adds to our fund to keep these spaces ready for the next visitor.
If $500 isn’t in your budget, a monthly gift of any amount makes a difference. Together, we can continue to offer restful, beautiful spaces to all who come.
4. Donate a Commemorative Brick
Support Koinonia’s gardens by donating a commemorative brick. Your gift helps create prayer gardens, pathways, and seating areas for guests to enjoy the peace and beauty of the farm. Bricks are placed near Clarence’s Writing Shack—a beloved spot for contemplation and prayer.
There are two sizes of bricks available, each with space for a personalized message. A commemorative brick is a meaningful way to honor a loved one or share a memory of your time at Koinonia. The link below will take you to Koinonia Farm Store, where you can fill out all the information.
People come to Koinonia for many reasons. No matter why, we welcome them with good food, a warm bed, and a joyous heart. Over the years, we’ve opened our doors to thousands of people from all walks of life. Regardless of race, religion, background, or anything else that might divide us, all are welcome here.
Help Koinonia continue to offer this radical welcome.
