A Diverse and Inclusive Community
At Koinonia Christian Church, we embody the true meaning of communion with God an community with one another. We are committed to prayer that moves mountains, evangelism that reaches the lost, and discipleship that builds strong believers. Through fellowship, we cultivate relationships that encourage spiritual growth, and through mission, we extend Christ’s love beyond our walls.
Our purpose is clear: to save the lost, disciple the saved, and equip every believer to thrive in faith, service and obedience to Christ.
Our Story
Koinonia Christian Church has been in ministry and service to the Lord for over 20 years. What started as a simple gathering of a few for Bible Study, has grown into a hub for all of Arlington, TX and the world. The mercy, power and grace of God can not be measured on our journey. Our Lead Pastor, Dr. Ronnie Goines, son of Curtis Goines, and his obedience to God has led to thousands of lives, families and community change.
We are a nondenominational church who welcomes all Christians of any faith. If you have accepted, acknowledged or even desire to know Jesus Christ as your savior, you are welcome here. One of our primary calls in ministry is to disciple those who come. Pastor Ronnie Goines has implemented two discipleship programs here at the church; Men of Joshua and Women’s Discipleship Class. We believe in not only having faith, but growing in faith. “Go therefore and make disciples” is our charge and it is in obedience that we continue what Jesus commanded.
From the birth of the church over 20 years ago to now, we have seen a spiritual move throughout our community. With the support of the community in their stewardship, support and love, the church has planted two kingdom expansions in the city with the RWG STEM Academy, a private school for 7th – 12th graders, and the IMPACT Center, a community hub for educational transformation, athletics and more. Our commitment to all those who give and support the ministry has never been greater. We are equally committed to our Kingdom Directives and pray that God continues to touch and guide our every step.
Our Kingdom Directive

Who are we?
We are welcoming and faith-filled community of believers dedicated to worship, service, and spiritual growth. Our mission is to share God’s love, strengthen our faith, and serve our local community.
What do we believe?
We believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of God’s love to transform lives. Our church upholds the authority of the Bible, the importance of prayer, and the calling to live out our faith through worship, fellowship, and service.
We believe in the universal church, which is composed of everyone who has received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, irrespective of race, creed or culture. We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus and an outward sign of our entrance into the body of Christ. We believe that communion is the sacred right and a privilege of every believer. It should be shared solemnly as often as desired for the purpose of communing with our Lord and Savior as one body in Christ.
We believe in the great commission to; “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things commanded of God.
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We uphold God’s word as our rule of law and order.
The Discipleship Process
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20
One of our main missions is to be obedient to the command of Jesus and make disciples through our discipleship programs. To be discipled here at Koinonia Christian Church, you must complete a six step process outlined in the below image.
How do you operate?
We maintain a core team of professionals who oversee all executive functions and decisions at the church. This includes adhering to strict city, state and federal guidelines when it comes to church operations. Our financial records are subject to many audits to ensure those same guidelines are not only being met but exceeded. We operate in full transparency.
All decisions are done through prayer and collaboration. We stand on obedience to the call and Word of God. All positions at the church function under our Kingdom Directive which is centered on uplifting the name of Jesus.
