A Journey

In the gospel of Luke (24:13–35), the risen Christ appears to two men who were going along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus.  Picture two friends, walking together, sharing their hearts’ deepest concerns.  Christ joins them, explaining the scriptures as they walk and how it was ordained that Christ should suffer and so enter his glory.  The illuminating climax of the experience is when Christ took bread and blessed it, then broke it and gave it to them.  The two friends had their eyes opened and they recognized Him as the Christ, and they rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples.

The Purpose

The focus of Emmaus is God as known in Jesus Christ and how that finds expression in the local church.  The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, and place of work.  Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace-filled life to be lived and shared with others.

Discover Emmaus

The Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience which takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual walk, not a physical walk. You live and study together in singing, prayer, worship, and discussion. You’ll discover how grace is real in your life, the Christian community, and the world.  You’ll also discover how you can live in the life of grace by bringing grace to others. You will have the opportunity to participate in the daily celebration of Holy Communion and to begin to understand more fully the presence of Christ in the body of believer. You will experience God’s grace personally through the prayers and acts of service of a living support community. No matter where you are in your relationship with Christ, the Walk to Emmaus is a safe retreat where you will find a community of friends who are seeking a deeper understanding of their faith.

We invite you to join in a refreshing weekend spent meeting Jesus as He comes to you through other Christians.
