What is the Walk to Emmaus?

The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood, and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all." The three-day Emmaus weekend offers today's disciples an opportunity to rediscover Christ's presence in their lives, to gain fresh understanding of God's transforming grace, and to form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity. To get involved in Emmaus, each person must have a sponsor who has already attended an Emmaus weekend. For more information, contact the church office.
