The Emmaus Mission is a visiting ministry in the heart of Beaver Falls, PA and under the umbrella of Church Army, USA.

​

We go see people where they are, and then we create places for them to be. When and if they're ready, these spaces become a natural bridge back to the preached Word and the Lord's supper in the fellowship of believers. 

​​​​

We are a band of chaplain evangelists, committed to Good News, Simple Rhythms, and Ordinary Hospitality. 

​​​​​​​​

The Good News is that Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again. And the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit has now been offered in His Name. 

​​​​​​

A simple rhythm of scripture, prayer, and friends is our life with this Good News

​​​​​​​

Ordinary Hospitality is our sign this News is true.  Our most basic, tender and visible sign of the forgiveness of sin, the reality of Christ, and the homecoming offered only in Him. 

​

To put into a simple quote: "

 

the Crucifixion means we've all been forgiven, the Ressurrection means this life's worth livin'"

​​​​​

Every visit is a sign this News is true. And we hold out these signs to friends and folks in our city.

​​​​​​

​At the heart of every visit are three things: giving regard, coming alongside, and becoming a sign of rest.

​​

We believe the Light is when Christ gave Himself to us, and that we hold out that Light when we go and see each other. In short, we believe proximity is proclamation. 

​​​​​

We visit friends on the margins and create places for people to be. Places where ​folks can listen to each other, keep each other company, and share in something together.  We hold out this Light so that Christ might gather what's been scattered. ​With a special heart for the neurodivergent and all those who struggle, who find everyday life unbearable, unmanageable, and impossible. 

​​​

The goal of the ministry each other company as we make our way together, out of pride and lies, through trouble and loss, toward meaning and rest. The company we keep is a sign that Christ Himself is the way out of pride and lies, the the way through trouble and loss, and the meaning and rest we're headed toward.
