This is the heart of Koinonia Con

Fellowship.

You can find comics anywhere. You can game online. You can watch movies from your couch.
But Koinonia Con is about experiencing the things you love with people.

Meet someone who loves the same obscure character Challenge someone to a game Talk with an artist Ask a speaker a question Bring your kids Invite a friend Have a conversation about faith

Find your people

Koinonia means fellowship—and that’s why we’re here. We believe comics, gaming, anime, cosplay, movies, art and storytelling can become bridges that bring people together and open the door to deeper conversations about creativity, wellness, faith and Jesus.

Come for the fandom. Stay for the fellowship.
