Common language. Common people.
Extraordinary message.


That's what Koiné was in the 4th and 5th century in then Macedonia, the common language of the people. It's a Greek term, and was the language the New Testament was written in.

Today, Koiné is again a voice for the common people, and again with extraordinary message. Koiné - the church band, is a Christian band, bringing a new vibrant sound and feel to traditional Lutheran and Christian songs.

Founded on the banks the Milwaukee River on Milwaukee's near North Side, Koiné brings a new and needed voice to the arena of Christian music.

Thanks for stopping by. Check out the rest of the site, and we welcome you to our upcoming shows, to hear a common message for all people: Jesus Christ is Savior.

God Bless - Koiné

Concert Updates:

June 13th - June 14th: 

Crown of Life in Hubertus, WI -- We had a great time once again this year at the annual Crown of Life (Hubertus) Pig Roast!  What a special event for the whole community!  Our thanks to Pastor Helwig and the crew for making us feel welcome.  And a special thanks to Noah Bater for helping us in our battle with the popcorn maker before the concert. :-) The whole day was a success once again.  The Lord is doing great things at Crown of Life.

Zion in Hartland, WI -- On Sunday morning we were privileged to lead worship for Zion Lutheran in Hartland at their Praise in the Park event at Nixon Park.  Thank you Pastor Ristow and Lois Kleunder for all of your help so early in the morning (and for the McDonald's breakfast!).  We enjoyed Pastor's words and were encouraged by them.  Thanks to Tom Siegel and the choir for singing "I Hear the Savior Calling" with us.  It was quite beautiful.  The post-service concert was fun and the kids showed off their lungs for a couple songs (future American Idol stars!!?)  The good ol' fashioned potluck was great and the Root Beer really hit the spot.  We look forward to being back at Zion in the future!
