Koinonia is patterned after the Roman Catholic Cursillo that began in Spain in the 1940s. Koinonia began in the Presbyterian church in Findlay, Ohio in May, 1972, so that men and women, married and single, and those of different denominations, could participate on the same weekend. The Koinonia weekend is somewhat modified from the Cursillo weekend, but the same basic theme exists: “A short course in Christianity.”

Koinonia was brought to Colorado in 1977 by Ron and Pat Morgan. The Morgans were transferred by Marathon Oil Co. from Findlay to Littleton, Colorado. With the help of Episcopal Cursillo, which had already been active in Colorado for several years, the first weekend took place April 15-17, 1977 at Covenant Heights Baptist Bible Camp near Estes Park, Colorado. There were 19 participants, mostly from Grace Presbyterian Church of Littleton, Colorado.

Participants in Colorado Koinonia are now spread throughout Colorado, and have established Koinonia groups in Northern Colorado, Western Colorado, and Southern Colorado, as well as reaching into several other states, including: Montana, Arkansas, Texas, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico.
