Attending an Emmaus Retreat is just the first step in receiving its blessings.
Serving at an Emmaus Retreat completes the circle of being a part of giving God’s Grace to others. Learning to love is all about giving of what we have received.

We provide a 3-day experience of spiritual renewal and enrichment 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
