We provide a 3-day experience of spiritual renewal with a lifetime of fellowship and service to others.
Emmaus is a short course in seeing God’s grace with new eyes and living a life of love, and encourages fourth-day reunion groups in Northern California and Nevada. We offer retreat weekends to build faith, and our Lay and Clergy leaders are all approved by the Board of Directors for their experience, skill, and faith.
The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities and places of work. Emmaus lifts-up a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others. Find out more
