Emmaus

What is the Walk to Emmaus?

The Biblical story of the Walk to Emmaus provides the image for the Walk to Emmaus, an Upper Room program that calls forth and renews Christian discipleship. The Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience which takes the New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. It is a highly structured weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Christian people and, through them, their families, congregations, and the world in which they live. Walk to Emmaus is a combined effort of laity and clergy toward the renewal of the church.

The purpose of the Walk to Emmaus

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