​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​ The Emmaus Mission is ordinary people gathered around this Good News, 

a group of friends looking for a simple life with this Good News

and sharing in signs this News is true. 

With a special heart for the neurodivergent and those who struggle. 

​​

We believe that Christ died and rose for us, 

and that we die and rise with Him when we hear this Good News, 

receiving the forgiveness of sins by which we die with Him, 

and the gift of the Holy Spirit by which we rise with Him.

​​

We believe a slow and steady rhythm of scripture, prayer, hobbies and friends offers us a simple life with this Good News.  And that Good News  gives us a New Heart and slow growth in faith, hope, and love over time. 

​​

We believe ordinary hospitality--regard, company, and rest--is our best sign this News is true.  That it uniquely announces the mercy's offered us in Christ. 

​​​

These are the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly rhythm that make up of our life at the Emmaus Mission and that we offer to our friends and neighbor in the spirit of ordinary hospitality.  Each one somehow combines scripture, prayer, hobbies and friends, what we also "a liturgy and a place to be," or "sacred third spaces."
