Walking together in the renewed life Christ offers.

Emmaus is a gathering of people from various stations and stages of life who are committed to walking together in the renewed life Christ offers.


As people of renewal we are:

 

Rooted

We are grounded in Scripture and the historic Christian faith.

Beloved

We are deeply loved, resting with gratitude in God's delight.

Formed

We are remade in Christ's image to reflect His beauty and goodness.

Embodied

We are committed to faithful presence with each other and our neighbors.

 
 

Our Network

Emmaus is a part of Harbor Network. Harbor is a network of like minded churches that exists to offer the safety and support needed to launch, lead and multiply thriving churches.

 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe rich theology brings renewal to our relationships with God, self, others and the rest of His creation.

We embrace Biblical and Historic Christianity as expressed in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and as summarized in the Nicene and Apostles creed.

We also identify broadly with the Reformation stream of Christianity. We have found The New City Catechism to be a helpful resource for guiding us into the foundational teachings that emerged from that period and have stood the test of time.
