KOINOS HOT TOPICS

Are you looking for Christian speakers on contemporary issues?

KOINOS can link you with Christian experts who clearly and simply communicate information to you and your church.  KOINOS HOT Topic speakers will not push any one position on current topics, but present a balanced view of several perspectives. Speakers will show respect for seminar participants who hold divergent views.

If your community is wrestling with a HOT Topic, contact us. We will find a qualified speaker for you. Or if you would like to see our current list of HOT Topics, click on one of the following broad categories: 
   
Christianity and Culture
    Christianity and Your Everyday Life
   
Deepening Your Intimacy with Jesus
    The Bible
and Early Church History
    Issues in Church Life
    Historical Influences
on our Present Culture
    Spirituality and Creativity

Most HOT Topic speakers will come to your church for a two to three hour seminar for a $250 stipend (exceptions are asterisked), plus traveling costs. (A small percentage of the stipend comes to the KOINOS organization to support its ministry.)
