The Walk to Emmaus is a 72-hour experience. You will enjoy three busy days singing, praying, worshiping, and participating in small groups. Discussions center around fifteen talks given by laity and clergy. These talks present the theme of God's grace, and how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and expresses itself in the world. You'll also discover how grace is real in your life, how you live a life of grace, and bring grace to others. You will have the opportunity to participate in the daily celebration of Holy Communion and to understand more fully the presence of Christ in his body of believers. You will experience God's grace personally through the prayers and acts of service offered by a vital support community.

Emmaus is open to members of any Christian denomination. Emmaus is for the development of Christian leaders who are members of a local church; wish to strengthen their spiritual lives; may have unanswered questions about their faith; understand that being a Christian involves responsibility; are willing to dedicate their everyday lives to God in an ongoing manner.
