What is Emmaus?
Emmaus at Christ the King is a place where every disciple of Christ of every age can come and grow deeper in their Catholic faith and deeper in fellowship with their church community. We share a meal, enjoy time as a whole community, and then divide for age-appropriate lessons on the same topic. Kids will enjoy making new friends in their classrooms while adults gather for deep discussion and learning.
Is Emmaus for me?
Emmaus is for every stage of life and generation. Whether you are a young adult, married couple, or family of any shape and size - whether you are new to the faith or have a degree in theology, you are welcome with open arms at Emmaus! Participation in Emmaus is required for those involved in sacramental preparation.
Why is it called Emmaus?
In the Gospel of Luke 24:13-35, we see two disciples walking the road to Emmaus, discussing the Passion of Jesus, Suddenly, Jesus appears to them, yet they do not recognize Him. As they walk and talk, Jesus explains the Scriptures to them, and “their hearts burn within them” as he speaks. At the end of the journey, in the breaking of the bread, they recognize Jesus, only to have Him vanish. Immediately, they run out and share their encounter with the risen Lord.
Our vision for Emmaus is captured in this Scripture; that we would walk together, discuss Scripture, encounter Jesus, and share what we have learned so that we are “forming into missionary disciples.”
