Foundations is a 4 week course designed to give language and structure to the core beliefs of the Christian faith. The course provides space to work through what Christians believe, why those beliefs matter, and how they shape how we live, worship, and belong to the Church. This isn’t a class about church programs or techniques, but about the theological “why” beneath the practices we share. It will begin on Sunday, February 22 from 1:00-2:30pm. See Pastor Jay Sikes with any questions and sign up below if you are interested.

Join us Friday, February 20 at 6:30pm for a movie night in the community room! Together with Christ Wesleyan Church, we will view the film "Black + Evangelical" to learn the histories, contributions, and concerns of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Popcorn and childcare will be provided.

The Lenten season begins on Wednesday, February 18. As a way to move into this season of repentance, fasting, and reflection, we encourage you to stop by the church between 7 - 8am for the Imposition of Ashes before beginning your day.

We are excited to celebrate the Advent season with baptisms on Sunday, December 21st. Baptism is a presence-filled Sacrament and means of grace that has been given to us by Jesus. It is an embodied way of denouncing your old way of life and being raised to a new life in Christ and his family. In some ways, it marks the conscious beginning of your discipleship to Jesus.

On Sunday, December 14th, right after our gathering, we will host a catechism class for those preparing to be baptized.

We are celebrating the holidays together and enjoying our final potluck Sunday for the year on November 30th. Plan to bring a few dishes to share - enough to feed you and your whole crew - and join us after our gathering to enjoy lunch together!

At Emmaus we desire to continue seeking the tangible presence of God and have set aside a monthly Friday night prayer space called The Waiting Room. It is in this space and set-aside time that we expect God to speak, and wait in anticipation for him to. Throughout history, it has been a remnant of praying people who sow seeds of renewal and awakening. Come, wait. Come, Holy Spirit. It will open at 6:30 pm.

This year, instead of hosting our own Trunk or Treat, we are going to partner with Glenwood Together and help serve during their event on Saturday, October 25 from 4 until 5:30pm at 1417 Glenwood Ave. There are many ways to serve - whether you're able to donate some bags of candy, set up a trunk with some folks from your house church, or just be an extra set of hands during the event - they are expecting a lot of kids, and need our help to show them some love!

It is time for our quarterly night of prayer and worship, where we come together as a community to seek the presence of the Lord. Plan to join us on Wednesday, October 22 from 6:30 until 8:00 pm. Childcare is provided and all house churches will be gathering together on this night to worship as one body.

September is a special month for us — a month of vision casting. We will be having a Family Meeting on Sunday, September 28th right after the gathering to pause and remember some values of our community. We have a unique opportunity to align our hearts with what we believe about community, giving, caring for each other and others through the much-needed purchase of a new roof for our building. We are inviting you all to sow into legacy and relationships through this opportunity! 

This meeting is open to everyone who attends Emmaus. Childcare will be provided.

Twice a year, we take a Sabbath Sunday to stop and rest. We desire to be a community that is intentional about gathering but also intentional about resting, especially giving our team of volunteers the chance to take a break. Rather than gathering together in person on July 6, we will take time as a community to practice our rhythm of rest and spend time delighting in the Lord.

Calling all middle and high school students! Emmaus Youth will have our first hangout of the Summer on Sunday, June 29, immediately following the gathering. We will have pizza at the church and then go bowling together - please bring $10 to cover costs.
