The Next Generation Matters
One of the core values of our network is the multiplication and launching of new disciple-making leaders. When you head off to college, trade school, or wherever your next education takes you – we want to you to see your story as part of God’s redemptive story.
We want to equip and support you in this mission.
Scholarships were established in 2022 to help support high school Senior students from the church plants in the Koinonia network. These churches currently include: Fellowship North (est. 2013), Fellowship West (est. 2015), TriStar Church (est. 2020), Local Church Knoxville (est. 2025), and City Church Knoxville (est. 2016). As churches multiply, their High School Seniors will also be included as eligible candidates.
