Our History
The Koinonia Foundation was established in 1990 by a caring group from the Koinonia Sunday School class of Wake Forest Baptist Church. Led by Wake Forest developer and businessman Jim Adams, this interdenominational group came together with a shared vision to assist neighbors facing difficult times. Over the years, the Foundation has expanded to welcome all who are committed to helping others, regardless of religious affiliation.
