The Walk to Emmaus is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as He is revealed to you through other believers. It is an experience that begins with prayerful discernment and an invitation from a sponsor. After one accepts this invitation, an application is completed. The Walk to Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God's time, the person is invited to attend a three-day experience of New Testament Christianity. Following the three days, participants are given an opportunity to join in small groups to support each other in their ongoing walk with Christ. Through the formational process of accountable discipleship in small groups and participation in the Walk to Emmaus community, servant-leadership skills are developed for use in the local church and its missions. 


The Purpose of Walk to Emmaus

The purpose of Walk to Emmaus is to develop leaders for the church. Walk to Emmaus will inspire, challenge, and equip participants for Christian action in their homes, churches, and places of work. Walk to Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others.
