Koinonia Coffee House: Open for Business!

&#169 Leia Adelle Photography

Koinonia.

It's the Greek word for fellowship, but in West Jackson, Mississippi, the word means so much more. In a place where "hope" doesn't come in pre-wrapped packages, co-owners Alexis Spencer-Byers and Lee Harper (**who happens to be the mother of Leia Adelle herself!!**) have forged a new path for change, casting the vision for a bustling venue that serves up far more than your average latte. From the spacious layout and comfortable seating, to the sense of warm hospitality and cheerful greeting you are met with at the door, Koinonia is doing what was once thought impossible in west Jackson - cultivating community.

With the grand opening of Koinonia Coffee House happening today, we are thrilled at the promise of this new endeavor. Though still in her infancy, Koinonia will undoubtedly grow strong - we can't wait to watch her as she grows! There are good things in the air, and in west Jackson, the bottom line is clear. Whether its coffee or community, at Koinonia, your cup is sure to overflow.

Here are some promotional shots we took a few weeks ago as the final touches were coming into place:

Congratulations, Koinonia!!! Keep a fresh cup brewing for us!

If you're in Jackson, don't hesitate to stop on in - you won't be disappointed!

I'm tempted to go to Mississippi just to see this place in person! I love it when someone does something for the community. Congratulations to Koinonia!
