Koinonia Fellowship gives back to the Lord a tithe from the Undesignated funds donated to the church. This weekly 10% is put into a fund which supports eleven outside ministries, some local, some international. A printed list of these ministries and support amounts is posted on the agape boxes outside the Welcome Center and in the Agape hall. (Dollar amounts given are monthly support.)
