Our Church

What does “Koinonia” mean?

  • “Koinonia” is a Greek word, which occurs twenty times in the Bible. The primary meaning of the word is fellowship, sharing in common and communion. The first occurrence of “koinonia” is Acts 2:42: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” “Koinonia” represents our conviction that God is eager to build loving relationship with us.

What denomination is KEC?

  • KEC is a church of biblical and evangelical faith, and is recognized and accepted by all major Christian denominations in Greater Vancouver.
Leadership

Who is leading the church?

  • The leadership of the church consists of two components. The Pastoral Team is responsible for the spiritual leadership and pastoral care of the church. Deacons are responsible for the administration and supervision. KEC Church Council is composed of deacons and pastors. Besides deacons and pastors, leadership at KEC also includes ministry team leaders and small group leaders.

How does KEC ministry operate?

  • Besides the pastoral team, our overall ministry is a partnership of ministry teams composed of brothers and sisters with different gifts.
