The Walk to Emmaus® is a fun-filled, spirit-filled, 72-hour "short course" in Christianity. It is our prayer that each participant will experience Christ in a very special way during the weekend. It is a spiritual journey -- you will not be required to bring walking shoes.

The purpose of the Walk to Emmaus® is to revitalize local churches and serve local communities by building individual Christian character and leadership.

The Walk to Emmaus® is ecumenical and invites participants from all Christian denominations. Our Board of Directors, Clergy Leaders and Team Members are drawn from a cross section of Christian denominations.

The Walk to Emmaus® should not be compared to a retreat. Retreats are usually annual events; the Walk to Emmaus® is a spiritual journey that offers support for participants long after the 72-hour event is over.

The Walk to Emmaus® is not a church; it is a movement of spiritual renewal to build individual commitment to serve Jesus Christ in His Body -- the Church...namely, your Church.

The Walk to Emmaus® is not a clergy-run event. It is led by lay people serving Our Lord. During the three days, participants will hear and discuss 15 Christian talks, worship, pray, meditate and sing.

The Walk to Emmaus® is not the only, nor does it claim to be the best, means of spiritual renewal. But Emmaus® does offer a way to insure the fruits of the 72-hour experience.

The Walk to Emmaus® is not a secret society. We have no secrets... though we believe the Lord has some surprises for participants. Any and all of your questions about the Walk to Emmaus® will be answered completely by your sponsor(s) or by e-mailing us your questions.

Emmaus® is not an evangelistic outreach to non-Christians. The Walk to Emmaus® assumes familiarity with the basics of the Christian faith and tries to build on each person's positive relationship with their church.
